· http_www.ibm.pdf

· rfc2960SCTP.html

v Overview:

· Provides an association between a server and one or more clients.

· An association is different from a connection, each entity may have more than one IP address (multi-home).

· Each association has multiple independent streams.

· SCTP is message oriented Protocol (like udp).

Association Establishment: (4-way handshake)

Ta, Tz:     are tags.
J, K:         are initial sequence numbers.
Cookie:    contains state information to ensure association validity.

Association Termination:

vSCTP State Transition Diagram:

Watching the packets:

SCTP Options:

· Dynamic address extension (add/delete IP address from an association).

· Partial reliability extension (limit the retransmission of data).

Protocol Usage:

SCTP  Examples

All the examples are under:

http://www.cs.odu.edu/~cs779/sctpSolaries10/

The programs can compile and run on our “something” hosts:

· something (128.82.4.210)

· somethingelse (128.82.4.120)

· somethingmore (128.82.4.209)

And the “fast” hosts, e.g:

· capella (128.82.4.118)

· antares (128.82.4.98)

· procyon (128.82.4.170)

v Advanced Features:

ü Autoclosing:

Specify a maximum number of seconds an association remain idle.

 
close_time = 120;




setsockopt(sock_fd, IPPROTO_SCTP, SCTP_AUTOCLOSE, &close_time, sizeof(close_time));
 
Example:
 AutoCloseServer & 
 AutoCloseClient.
 
% AutoCloseServer 10123 5
Try: 
% AutoCloseClient something 10123 4
And then 
% AutoCloseClient something 10123 6
 

ü Peeloff:

connfd = sctp_peeloff (socket, assoc_id);
Example:

sctp_serverQpeel.c (modified from sctp_serverQ.c)

ü Streams:

â Sending on a Specific Stream:

struct sctp_sndrcvinfo sri;

sri.sinfo_stream = 5 ;

means to send on stream 5 instead the default (1).

âControlling Number of Streams:
initm.sinit_num_ostreams = 20; 
setsockopt(sock_fd, IPPROTO_SCTP, SCTP_INITMSG, &initm, sizeof(initm));
 

means the server will  use 20 streams instead of the default (10).

Example: 
StreamServer & 
StreamClient.
