Stream Control Transmission Protocol
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 2960 Stream Control Transmission Protocol October 2000
-- sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams,
with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user
messages,
-- optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP
packet, and
-- network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi-
homing at either or both ends of an association.
The design of SCTP includes appropriate congestion avoidance behavior
and resistance to flooding and masquerade attacks.
