This document provides general guidelines to assist the authors of
Reliable Multicast Transport (RMT) building block and protocol
instantiation definitions.  The purpose of these guidelines is to
ensure that any building block and protocol instantiation definitions
produced contain sufficient information to fully explain their
operation and use.  In addition these guidelines provide directions to
specify modular and clearly defined RMT building blocks and protocol
instantiations that can be refined and augmented to safely create new
protocols for use in new scenarios for which any existing protocols
were not designed.

This document is a product of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working
Group of the IETF.
