Padding Chunk and Parameter for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol
RFC 4820, “Padding Chunk and Parameter for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2007 by M. Tuexen, R. Stewart, P. Lei. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a padding chunk and a padding parameter and describes the required receiver side procedures. The padding chunk is used to pad a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) packet to an arbitrary size. The padding parameter is used to pad an SCTP INIT chunk to an arbitrary size. [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.
