Stream Control Transmission Protocol Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
RFC 5061, “Stream Control Transmission Protocol Dynamic Address Reconfiguration”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2007 by R. Stewart, Q. Xie, M. Tuexen, S. Maruyama, M. Kozuka. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A local host may have multiple points of attachment to the Internet, giving it a degree of fault tolerance from hardware failures. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) (RFC 4960) was developed to take full advantage of such a multi-homed host to provide a fast failover and association survivability in the face of such hardware failures. This document describes an extension to SCTP that will allow an SCTP stack to dynamically add an IP address to an SCTP association, dynamically delete an IP address from an SCTP association, and to request to set the primary address the peer will use when sending to an endpoint. [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.
