SCTP is used in WebRTC DataChannels, so it will see use in web games hopefully. However I think Chrome and Firefox implement it on top of UDP at the moment (perhaps because not all OSs support it?)
- rdtsc 13y agoIf it is using native SCTP, I don't see how well it would work with firewalls and routers (both enterprise and home ones). It would have to fallback to user-space over UDP presumably.
- MichaelGG 13y agoYeah, practically speaking, a remake of SCTP on top of UDP is what is needed if there's going to be any adoption.
- fulafel 13y agoThe WebRTC approach of using UDP gives NAT resistance and OS independence.
