SCTP (Stream control transmission protocol) – 1 hour
SCTP (Stream control transmission protocol) is a transport level protocol providing end-to-end communication between two or more applications running in separate hosts. SCTP operates on top of the connectionless packet network supported by IP (Internet Protocol) offering a connection oriented, reliable transport mechanism for independently sequenced message streams. It was originally designed to provide a general purpose transport for message-oriented applications transporting signalling data. This module describes the architecture and operation of SCTP including its features, the setting up of SCTP associations, data delivery and shutdown. Its position within the Sigtran architecture as a whole is also included. |
