Title : Stream Control Transmission Protocol
Author(s) : R. Stewart
Filename : draft-ietf-tsvwg-2960bis-05.txt
Pages : 150
Date : 2007-6-12
This document obsoletes RFC2960 [RFC2960] and RFC3309 [RFC3309] it
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,
-- data fragmentation to conform to discovered path MTU size,
-- 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.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-2960bis-05.txt".
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.
