SCTP is a standardized reliable transport protocol for SS7 signaling over IP, gaining attention for its multistreaming and multihoming capabilities. The article surveys SCTP’s main features, reviews current research and development, and highlights challenges to spur further work. The authors survey existing products that implement SCTP.
The stream control transmission protocol (STCP) is being standardized by the IEFT as a reliable transport protocol to transport SS7signaling messages over IP networks. Due to its attractive features such as multistreaming and multihoming, SCTP has received much attention from the network community, in terms of both research and development. This article introduces the main features of SCTP, and discusses the state of the art in SCTP research and development activities. We also provide a survey of the available products that use SCTP. Finally with a view to stimulating further research in this area, the challenges faced by the SCTP research community are identified.
