This document describes the applicability of the Stream Control
Transmission Protocol for general usage in the internet. Some of the
prominent features, such a the selective acknowledgement, Congestion
control, fast retransmit etc.. are explained in some detail. The
design of SCTP against certain forms of attacks in the internet is
also discussed. The use and specification of adaptation layers in
conjunction with SCTP is described. A few general applications are
described such as the transport of signalling information (SS7,
DSS1/2 ...) over IP infrastructure

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
