2. Draft overview
Better understanding of GIST protocol operation from implementers' point of view
State and its transition diagrams rather than pure text
Current version is based on v01.txt with ID-nits
FSMs for two peering GIST nodes

3. Next Steps
Provide concrete use examples of how GIST delivers messages and manages internal state
State machine
Message flows in different situations
Fleshing out the conceptual data structures a bit more
Eventually, serve as GIST protocol implementation guide

4. NSIS Implementation Status

5. Current status (0.4) Supported protocols:
GIST, QoS NSLP and NATFW-NSLP IDs and state machines
QSPEC ID
Diagnostics NSLP ID and “ping tool”
Platform: Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OSx
License:
GIST, QoS-NSLP and NATFW-NSLP: GPL
GIST-NSLP: LGPL
“Skeleton NSLP” (encourage anyone develop open source NSLPs): BSD
Other features:
