What additional services are supported by SCTP but are not provided by TCP and UDP. Also, what makes SCTP an ideal platform for carrying signaling messages? Solution 2 problems in TCP which are not there in sctp 1)head of line blocking and 2) multihoming 1)head of line blocking: this is a problem where sender independent messages are sent over an order-preserving TCP connection causes delivery of messages sent later to be delayed within a receiver\'s transport layer buffers until an earlier lost message is retransmitted and arrives. These later messages often established as independent telephone calls. 2)multihoming:here a host with multiple points of attachment to the Internet,does not want to wait for a routing convergence to communicate critical messages to its peer communication endpoint.These are dne for redundant processes..

1. What additional services are supported by SCTP but are not provided by TCP and UDP. Also,
what makes SCTP an ideal platform for carrying signaling messages?
Solution
2 problems in TCP which are not there in sctp
1)head of line blocking and 2) multihoming
1)head of line blocking: this is a problem where sender independent messages are sent over an
order-preserving TCP connection causes delivery of messages sent later to be delayed within a
receiver's transport layer buffers until an earlier lost message is retransmitted and arrives. These
later messages often established as independent telephone calls.
2)multihoming:here a host with multiple points of attachment to the Internet,does not want to
wait for a routing convergence to communicate critical messages to its peer communication
endpoint.These are dne for redundant processes.
