SCTP is described in RFC 4960. See +https://www.uni-due.de/~be0001/sctplib/ for details. The API of the library is +modeled after Section 10 of RFC 4960, and most parameters and functions should +be self-explanatory to the user familiar with this document. In addition to +these interface functions between an Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) and an SCTP +instance, the library also provides a number of helper functions that can be +used to manage callbacks and timers, as well as UDP sockets for simple IPC. +Furthermore, SCTPLIB provides support for UDP encapsulation, making it possible +to co-exist with kernel SCTP implementations. + +WWW: https://www.uni-due.de/~be0001/sctplib/ |
