Stream Control Transmission Protocol<br />

(SCTP) [3]<br />

Provides a reliable message-oriented service; combining best of TCP & UDP.<br />

• SCTP utilizes full-duplex associations<br />

• SCTP applications write messages to one of several streams and read<br />

messages from these streams<br />

• each unit is a chunk<br />

• here are record makers ⇒ the receiver can tell how much the sender wrote into the stream<br />

at any given time<br />

• multiple streams prevents a loss on one stream from affecting other streams<br />

• SCTP supports multihoming<br />

• the sender and receiver can utilize multiple interfaces with multiple IP addresses ⇒<br />

increased fault tolerance<br />

• current implementations do not support load balancing (i.e., only supports failover)<br />

• SCTP provides reliability<br />

• via acknowledgements, timeouts, retransmission, …<br />

• SCTP provides flow control<br />

• SCTP tries to avoid causing congestion<br />
