The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a general-purpose transport layer protocol by the IETF, has been a promising candidate to join UDP and TCP as a core protocol. The new SCTP services such as multi-homing, multi-streaming, message boundary preservation, no head-of-line delivery blocking, and enhanced security features can significantly enhance performance of FCS applications. SCTP...

This paper describes a successful attempt to combine two relatively new technologies: Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and the programming language Go, achieved by extending the existing Go network library with SCTP. SCTP is a reliable, message-oriented transport layer protocol, similar to TCP and UDP. It offers sequenced delivery of messages over multiple streams, network fault tole...

The Stream Control Transmissionn Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol definedd inn RFC 2960. It was developedd by researchers from industry andd universities withh the focus of transporting telecommunications signaling informationn over IP basedd networks. It is a window based, reliable protocol withh a congestionn control mechanism similar to TCP, but it also ha s several new feat...

Mobile IP is the IETF-proposed standard to offer seamless mobile computing. A new transport layer protocol, called Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), has recently been accepted by IETF as a proposed standard to address a number of TCP limitations. Most of the previous research on end-to-end throughput over Mobile IP has been carried out on TCP-Reno. Both TCP and SCTP can use Selective...

___________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: The technology in wireless and mobile IP Network has undergone a great advancement in the recent years. The performance of TCP and UDP is not enough to the recent advancements in technologies. So, IETF has proposed SCTP which supports multihoming and multi-streaming techniques which increases the performance o...

This document describes the usage of the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). DTLS over SCTP provides communications privacy for applications that use SCTP as their transport protocol and allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping and detect tampering or message forgery. A...

This memo describes an extension to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) that allows an SCTP endpoint to signal to its peer that it should move the cumulative ack point forward. When both sides of an SCTP association support this extension, it can be used by an SCTP implementation to provide partially reliable data transmission service to an upper layer protocol. This memo describes ...

Over the past few years, the internet has been used to stream multimedia data in real-time over the net to a personal computer. This so-called "streaming" technology, made possible by using RTP over UDP, is both efficient and unreliable. As an alternative, the Internet Engineering Task Force invented the Stream-ControlTransmission-Protocol (SCTP), allowing one to mix unreliable data with reliab...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol for end-to-end data transport. SCTP can be used to support soft handover for mobile terminal with the help of the SCTP multi-homing feature. For SCTP handover, a mobile terminal is required to switch the primary path to one of the promising alternative paths. This paper proposes a new scheme of the primary path switch...

This document describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). SCTP 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. It offers the following services to its users: -acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data, ...
