The SCTPLIB library is a prototype implementation of the Stream Control
|
||
|
Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a message-oriented reliable transport protocol
|
||
|
that supports multi-homing, and multiple message streams multiplexed within an
|
||
|
SCTP connection (also named association). SCTP is described in RFC 4960. See
|
||
|
https://www.uni-due.de/~be0001/sctplib/ for details. The API of the library is
|
||
|
modeled after Section 10 of RFC 4960, and most parameters and functions should
|
||
|
be self-explanatory to the user familiar with this document. In addition to
|
||
|
these interface functions between an Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) and an SCTP
|
||
|
instance, the library also provides a number of helper functions that can be
|
||
|
used to manage callbacks and timers, as well as UDP sockets for simple IPC.
|
||
|
Furthermore, SCTPLIB provides support for UDP encapsulation, making it possible
|
||
|
to co-exist with kernel SCTP implementations.
