Stream Control Transmission Protocol(1990):-

  • Stream:-
  • Stream Oriented
  • Connection Oriented
  • Byte Oriented
  • Character Oriented
  • Control:-
  • Error Control
  • Flow Control
  • Connection Control
  • Reliable
  • In order delivery
  • Transmission:-
  • Fast
  • Multi-homing:-Multiple port connection between Sender & Receiver.
  • Multi-stream
  • Multi-casting
  • Multi-media
  • SCTP was developed to provide multimedia internet services like IP telephony etc.
  • It is a connection oriented, Stream oriented, Character oriented & Byte oriented reliable protocol which provides end to end Error Control, Flow Control & Connection Control with in order delivery of data.
  • It is fast like UDP because it supports multi-casting which is a fault tolerant approach which creates multiple streams known as Association. If one association fails then the data can be rerouted through other association.
  • It provides full duplex services and supports multi-casting.
  • The control information is known as control chunk.
  • The multiple streams are identified by stream identifier.
  • The data chunk with in a stream is identified by stream sequence number.
  • The header size is fixed so, it is simple to process.
