Lots of things are still limited to tcp/udp only, such as traffic analyzers, home router port forwarding and cloud firewall rules.
If you want your networking software to be widely used, you probably don't want to limit yourself by using sctp.
- touisteur 4y agoYes but sctp can run over udp, that's how I ever used it. And QUIC has bitten the bullet of using udp over the Internet, so it was possible. Just feels like a missed opportunity, but now that QUIC is here, there's not much more to say. There's lots of fancy things with sctp that I always found magic and it defines the base of your architecture. Having a multi-homing, multi-path transport API alleviates many headaches.
