SCTP Stack Implementation

This section lists the details of the Oracle Solaris implementation of the IETF standard for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol, RFC 4960. The table in this section lists the Oracle Solaris exceptions to RFC 4960. The SCTP protocol in the Oracle Solaris operating system implements any section of RFC 4960 that is not explicitly mentioned in the table.

Table 7-3 Oracle Solaris SCTP Implementation Exceptions from RFC 4960

RFC 4960 Section	Exceptions in the Oracle Solaris Implementation
3. SCTP Packet Format	3.2 Chunk Field Descriptions: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the optional ECNE and CWR. 3.3.2: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the Initiation (INIT) Optional ECN, Host Name Address, and Cookie Preserving parameters. 3.3.3: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the Initiation Acknowledgement, Optional ECN, and Host Name Address parameters.
5. Association Initialization	5.1.2, Handle Address Parameters: Section (B), Optional Host Name parameter, is not implemented.
10. Interface with Upper Layer	Oracle Solaris SCTP implements the IETF TSVWG SCTP socket API draft.

3. SCTP Packet Format

3.2 Chunk Field Descriptions: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the optional ECNE and CWR.

3.3.2: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the Initiation (INIT) Optional ECN, Host Name Address, and Cookie Preserving parameters.

3.3.3: Oracle Solaris SCTP does not implement the Initiation Acknowledgement, Optional ECN, and Host Name Address parameters.

5. Association Initialization

5.1.2, Handle Address Parameters: Section (B), Optional Host Name parameter, is not implemented.

10. Interface with Upper Layer

Oracle Solaris SCTP implements the IETF TSVWG SCTP socket API draft.

Note:

The Oracle Solaris 11 implementation of the TSVWG SCTP socket API is based on a version of the API draft that was published at the time when Oracle Solaris 11 was first shipped.
