A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
Stream Reset
Author(s) : R. Stewart, et al.
Filename : draft-stewart-sctpstrrst-01.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2006-1-5
Many applications that desire to use SCTP have requested the ability
to "reset" a stream. The intention of resetting a stream is to start
the numbering sequence of the stream back at 'zero' with a
corresponding notification to the upper layer that this act as been
performed. The applications that have requested this feature
normally desire it so that they can "re-use" streams for different
purposes but still utilize the stream sequence number for the
application to track the message flows. Thus, without this feature,
a new use on an old stream would result in message numbers larger
than expected without a protocol mechanism to "start the streams back
at zero". This documents presents also a method for resetting the
transport sequence numbers and all stream sequence numbers.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
