SCTP?


  • Subject: SCTP?
  • From: Jens Alfke <email@hidden>

SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a relatively new transport protocol that has some benefits over TCP in that it's message-oriented and supports multiple streams. It's major enough to have deserved several chapters' worth of coverage in the 2004 edition of "Unix Network Programming", and it's implemented in almost all other Unix-based operating systems[1], but I can't find any mention of Mac OS X support.

Does anyone know its status on Mac? Any 3rd party implementations? Any opinions about the protocol — is it mainstream enough to be worth using? (One aspect I'm leery of is NAT support; I can imagine that most NATs wouldn't know what to do with it.)
