Title: Stream Control Transmission Protocol Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:stream-control-transmission-protocol URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_Control_Transmission_Protocol Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a computer networking communications protocol in the transport layer of the Internet protocol suite. Originally intended for Signaling System 7 (SS7) message transport in telecommunication, the protocol provides the message-oriented feature of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) while ensuring reliable, in-sequence transport of messages with congestion control like the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Unlike UDP and TCP, the protocol supports multihoming and redundant paths to increase resilience and reliability.
