In this text:

 

7.1.  One Control and Data Exchange Protocol

 

   The I2RS

   protocol may need to use several underlying transports (TCP, SCTP

   (stream control transport protocol), DCCP (Datagram Congestion

   Control Protocol)), with suitable authentication and integrity

   protection mechanisms.  These different transports can support

   different types of communication (e.g. control, reading,

   notifications, and information collection) and different sets of

   data.  Whatever transport is used for the data exchange, it must also

   support suitable congestion control mechanisms.  The transports

   chosen should be operator and implementor friendly to ease adoption.

   

I echo Benoit's question about defining multiple underlying transports. I 
suspect you'll need to pick one mandatory-to-implement transport protocol, and 
when everyone has to support that one, I'd be surprised to see implementations 
that support more than one transport protocol unless the mandatory-to-implement 
transport protocol is seriously broken in some scenarios.

Spencer: 

 

Does adding this text as a subsequent paragraph resolve your comment?  

 

The transports that the I2RS protocol can run over will be specified in the 

I2RS protocol, and in the I2RS protocol each transport protocol

as either mandatory to implement or optional to implement.
