Ah, sorry missed the question :(
I think just so users don’t have to solve the same problem themselves. SCTP gets you multiple streams and they can be ordered/reliable if you want.
The congestion control is pretty impressive. You can jump the TSN forward if you send a bunch of data but lose one Datagram in the middle. Cool stuff like that.
- tptacek 6y agoThat's why literally every feature exists. The question is what the return on that feature is. If most applications don't get any value from the additional complexity of SCTP, and SCTP itself causes implementation flaws that harm users, the feature is not benign.
