SCTP as a Transport for SIP

Status: SIP WG work item, draft 1
Date of last update: November 20, 2001
Authors: G. Camarillo, J. Rosenberg, H. Schulzrinne
Current Document: draft-ietf-sip-sctp-01.txt
Summary: This document specifies a mechanism for usage of SCTP (the Stream Control Transmission Protocol) as the transport between SIP entities. SCTP is a new protocol which provides several features that may prove beneficial for transport between SIP entities which exchange a large amount of messages, including gateways and proxies. As SIP is transport independent, support of SCTP is a relatively straightforward process, nearly identical to support for TCP.
