I'm curious, how does SCTP tunneled over UDP compare to QUIC? https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6951 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6951

  Lot's of discussion about SCTP in prior related thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18427795 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18427795

  It compares in the way that there's not a single SCTP web server implementation compared to QUIC. People here say that we should use HTTP/2 over SCTP, no protocol will be adopted if there's no good implementations of it.

    A WebRTC "RTCDataChannel" is an SCTP-over-DTLS-over-UDP stack, and webservers exist to stream to these. They're just mostly proprietary, existing as part of vertically-integrated stacks like that of Google Hangouts (i.e. its "app sharing" feature.)

      I wish there was a open source verison king like PyCharm

    Perhaps a better question would be why did Google decided to experiment with QUIC in Chrome instead of HTTP/2 over TLS over SCTP over UDP in Chrome. And the answer is probably because TLS over SCTP would require more RTTs.

    Linux has one. But Windows doesn't, so you instantly lose more then 90%.

      This is literally what has killed any work on sctp in my experience.
