SCTP

E24285
network protocol transport layer protocol

SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a transport-layer network protocol designed to provide reliable, message-oriented communication with features like multi-streaming and multi-homing, often used for signaling and real-time data transmission.
