Linux Kernel SCTP |
|
================= |
|
|
|
This is the current BETA release of the Linux Kernel SCTP reference |
|
implementation. |
|
|
|
SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a IP based, message oriented, |
|
reliable transport protocol, with congestion control, support for |
|
transparent multi-homing, and multiple ordered streams of messages. |
|
RFC2960 defines the core protocol. The IETF SIGTRAN working group originally |
|
developed the SCTP protocol and later handed the protocol over to the |
|
Transport Area (TSVWG) working group for the continued evolvement of SCTP as a |
|
general purpose transport. |
|
|
|
See the IETF website (http://www.ietf.org) for further documents on SCTP. |
|
See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2960.txt |
|
|
|
The initial project goal is to create an Linux kernel reference implementation |
|
of SCTP that is RFC 2960 compliant and provides an programming interface |
|
referred to as the UDP-style API of the Sockets Extensions for SCTP, as |
|
proposed in IETF Internet-Drafts. |

Caveats |
|
======= |
|
|
|
- lksctp can be built as statically or as a module. However, be aware that |
|
module removal of lksctp is not yet a safe activity. |
|
|
|
- There is tentative support for IPv6, but most work has gone towards |
|
implementation and testing lksctp on IPv4. |
