SCTP IETF R9
IETF RFC 4460 04/2006, 4960 09/2007, CAA 901 548
The SCTP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, protocol module is designed
to transport PSTN signaling messages over IP networks, but is capable of
broader applications. SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a
connectionless packet network such as IP. The design of SCTP includes appropriate
congestion avoidance behavior and resistance to flooding and masquerade
attacks.
Standards
The SCTP software is developed according to the
following standard:
» IETF RFC 4460 (04/2006)
» IETF RFC 4960 (09/2007)
Features
» Acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer
of user data
» Sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple
streams, with an option for order-of-arrival
delivery of individual user messages
» Network-level fault tolerance through supporting
of multi-homing at either end or both ends of an
association
» Data fragmentation to conform to configured
path MTU size
» IP Address Selection
» MAPPING KEY
» For outgoing associations SCTP gets the Mapping
Key from the SCTP_ASSOCIATE_REQ
primitive and for incoming associations SCTP
gets the Mapping key from the M3 module
Interface
The upper interface primitives establish communication
with the SCTP module. The thread-safe API
offers one function for each primitive for the upper
interface. The interface supports C or C++ code.
