SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a message oriented, reliable transport protocol, with congestion control, support for transparent multi-homing, and multiple ordered streams of messages. RFC 2960 defines the core protocol.

This package is part of the LKSCTP project, and contains libraries and commandline tools to test SCTP functionality: * checksctp: determine if kernel supports SCTP * withsctp: run existing TCP binaries over SCTP * sctp_darn: send and receive messages via SCTP * sctp_test: check SCTP functionality from user-space
