RFC 5043 SCTP DDP Adaptation October 2007
1. Introduction
This document describes a method to adapt Direct Data Placement
[RFC5041] to Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC4960].
Some implementations may include this adaptation layer within their
SCTP implementations to obtain maximum performance, but the behavior
of SCTP will be unaffected. An SCTP layer used solely by this
adaptation layer is able to take certain optimizations based on the
limited subset of SCTP capabilities used. In order to allow
optimization for these implementations, we specify the use of the new
adaptation layer indication as defined in [RFC5061]
1.1. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
