Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable, message–oriented communication protocol used to transport messages between two network applications. It provides error control, reliable data transfer and data transparency. SCTP is a layer 4 protocol that operates on top of existing IP networks. SCTP can provide better scalability, use fewer resources and offer more flexibility than traditional TCP/IP protocols. It is commonly used for voice and multimedia applications as well as large file transfers.
