| - | This document obsoletes RFC 2960 and RFC 3309. It describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). SCTP is designed to transport Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) signaling messages over [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:ip]] networks, but is capable of broader applications. | + | This document obsoletes RFC 2960 and RFC 3309.
