- xibo9 5y agoNope, SCTP runs at the same layer as UDP.
- salawat 5y agoIt does not run on UDP. It provides a UDP like best-effort transmission mode though, while also optionally allowing for interweaving reliable connection features. If SCTP really ran on UDP. I'd have no reason to be salty, because we'd already be using it.
- Dylan16807 5y agoRFC 6951. It can run over UDP if you want it to, with a clear guide for how to do it. > I'd have no reason to be salty, because we'd already be using it. Direct OS support is a big deal, and UDP gets messed with too. If someone made SCTP-over-UDP the default mode, while changing nothing else, I don't think it would affect adoption at all.
