RFC 4460: Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Specification Errata and Issues

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9260.

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

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

This document is a compilation of issues found during six interoperability events and 5 years of experience with implementing, testing, and using SCTP along with the suggested fixes. This document provides deltas to RFC 2960 and is organized in a time-based way. The issues are listed in the order they were brought up. Because some text is changed several times, the last delta in the text is the one that should be applied. In addition to the delta, a description of the problem and the details of the solution are also provided. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
