Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
A Reference Guide
Randall R. Stewart, Qiaobing Xie
Résumé
Written by the creators of SCTP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP): A Reference Guide is a comprehensive, practical guide to SCTP technology. Examining the protocol in depth, the book provides useful perspective on design rationale and highlights SCTP's improvements over TCP in the areas of security and reliability. The book also demonstrates how to take full advantage of SCTP to make IP-based communications more reliable and robust.
Topics covered include:
- An item-by-item comparison between the functions of SCTP and TCP/UDP
- SCTP packet formats
- Setup and closing of an association
- User data transfer
- Congestion control and avoidance, covering the SCTP Congestion Control Algorithm
- Failure detection and recovery, covering the interaction with multihoming and route arrangements
- "Out-of-the-blue" SCTP packets and verification tag rules
- IANA and future extension of SCTP
- A preview of the proposed SCTP Socket API extension
- Use of Streams in SCTP, featuring file transfer, call control, and Web browser applications
Numerous examples and diagrams throughout the book clarify important concepts and techniques. The final chapter presents a user space implementation of SCTP, and the accompanying CD-ROM contains the open source code for this implementation. An important complement to the official IETF standards specification, this book is required reading for all Internet programmers, developers, managers, and implementors of SCTP.

L'auteur - Randall R. Stewart
Randall R. Stewart, with Qiaobing Xie, is the designer
of the SCTP protocol. Mr. Stewart originally invented the
protocol while at Motorola. Subsequently, Mr. Stewart and
Dr. Xie worked together to perfect it and submit it to the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the leading
Internet technical standards body. Both men are the
principal authors and editors of the protocol drafts. They
also developed the reference implementation. Mr. Stewart is
a Senior Engineer at Cisco Systems.
