Title : Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Stream Reconfiguration
Author(s) : R. Stewart, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-strrst-01.txt
Pages : 26

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.
