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. 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.
