Title : ECN Nonces for Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
Author(s) : S. Ladha, et al.
Filename : draft-ladha-sctp-nonce-04.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2006-2-22
This document describes the addition of the ECN-nonce RFC 3540 [4] to
the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) RFC 2960 [3]. The
ECN-nonce reduces the vulnerability of ECN senders to misbehaving
receivers that conceal congestion signals like ECN marks and packet
losses. The ECN-nonce approach is different in SCTP because SCTP
uses chunks for extensible protocol features and is selective
acknowlegement (SACK)-based; this document describes those
differences. In particular this document describes (1) protocol
extensions in the form of a single new parameter for the INIT/
INIT-ACK chunks, and a single bit flag in the SACK chunk, and (2)
rules governing the sender and receiver side implementation.
This document outlines a minimum response that an SCTP sender should
apply after detecting a misbehaving receiver.

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
