about SCTP

SCTP設計的目的是為了提供更快速的而且更可靠的、更多功能性的signaling transfer

因為比起UDPTCP來說:

UDPunreliablelack of congestion and flow controls

TCPHOL delaylimited scopecan be attacked (SYN attack)

SCTP可以提供一個reliable、不會有HOL delay、而且又快、可以使用multi-homed hosts、不會被DoS攻擊(4-way handshake)

現在的SCTP 提供了哪些功能?

* To ensure reliable, error-free, in-sequence delivery of user messages (optional). 可靠性

* To support fast delivery of messages and avoid head-of-line blocking. 快,沒有HOL delay

* To support network-level fault tolerance that is critical for carrier-grade network performance by using multi-home hosts.network layer fault tolerance

* To provide protection against DoS attack by using 4-way handshake and cookies. – 4-way handshake
