Stream Control Transmission Protocol Checksum Change
RFC 3309, “Stream Control Transmission Protocol Checksum Change”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2002 by J. Stone, R. Stewart, D. Otis. It updates RFC 2960. It has been obsoleted by RFC 4960 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Stream Control Transmission Protocol [RFC2960] (SCTP) currently uses an Adler-32 checksum. For small packets Adler-32 provides weak detection of errors. This document changes that checksum and updates SCTP to use a 32 bit CRC checksum.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
