RFC 3309: Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Checksum Change

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 4960.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 9260 — Stream Control Transmission Protocol

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Stream Control Transmission Protocol [RFC2960] (SCTP) currently uses an Adler-32 checksum. For small packets Adler-32 provides weak detection of errors. This document changes that checksum and updates SCTP to use a 32 bit CRC checksum.
