What Does Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Mean?
Techopedia Explains Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
- Two SCTP terminals Protocol data state Active DATA chunk group
During transport, SCTP separates and identifies stream and DATA/control chunks as stream identifiers (SIs), stream sequence numbers (SSNs) and transmission sequence numbers (TSNs).
SCTP provides the following features:
- Error-free data transfer Sequenced and non-duplicated message delivery Optional single packet bundling Optional order of arrival delivery for individual messages Multihoming support at association endpoints Maximum transmission unit (MTU) path size for data fragmentation
