Stream Control Transmission Protocol Partial Reliability Extension
RFC 3758, “Stream Control Transmission Protocol Partial Reliability Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2004 by R. Stewart, M. Ramalho, Q. Xie, M. Tuexen, P. Conrad. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes an extension to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) that allows an SCTP endpoint to signal to its peer that it should move the cumulative ack point forward. When both sides of an SCTP association support this extension, it can be used by an SCTP implementation to provide partially reliable data transmission service to an upper layer protocol. This memo describes the protocol extensions, which consist of a new parameter for INIT and INIT ACK, and a new FORWARD TSN chunk type, and provides one example of a partially reliable service that can be provided to the upper layer via this mechanism. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
