For multimedia over <strong>IP</strong> applications, Stream Control Transmission Protocol<br />

(SCTP) is a new transport protocol at the same layer as <strong>TCP</strong> <strong>and</strong> UDP. SCTP<br />

provides functions for association management, sequence delivery, message<br />

chunk building, packet validation, <strong>and</strong> path management.<br />

SCTP has been designed with improved features for real-time services,<br />

including:<br />

<strong>IP</strong><br />

SDP/RSVP<br />

► Fast retransmit<br />

SCTP can quickly determine the loss of a packet, because of its usage of<br />

selective acknowledgement (SACK) <strong>and</strong> a mechanism that sends SACK<br />

messages faster than normal when losses are detected.<br />
