Is RFC1006 recommended for MEGACO implementation or vendor specific implementation?

We use the RFC 1006 length specifier to indicate total message length in TCP.
The "ALF" is actually anything but message delimitation -- not sure how it got that name. The functions performed by the application are
-- reliable delivery (aided by Megaco's transaction orientation) -- sequencing (not much needed in Megaco except in sorting out event reports) -- throttling in the face of network congestion.

Hi,
I am a new commer to the MEGACO mailing list and have some dump questions. The text enconding is new to me. If TCP is used as transport, how is a transaction message framed out from the data stream. Is "MEGACO/1" the frame mark? The standard requies MGC/MC to support UDP/ALF. UDP is already message based. Why is ALF (application level framing) needed? I though the other way around. Framing is needed for TCP. Thanks.
