SCTP protocol support

Postby csredrat » 27 Dec 2011 06:39

Protection and reliability above all else. Nowadays, information plays a significant role in my life. In connection with this very appropriate introduction would be implementing the protocol SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol - «transfer protocol with flow control"), a new version. This will provide protection against SYN-flood attacks, the establishment of a safe connection (using a four-handshake), as well as pleasant innovation in the form of the conservation message boundaries, multi-threading, unordered delivery, support for multiple interfaces. Implementation of this protocol allows the network to bring a new level of speed, reliability, security and data transmission capabilities over the network. Because the new protocol was created, taking into account shortcomings of TCP, in view of the network and make full use of their opportunities, and special attention was paid to safety and security.

It is high time to promote, SCTP everywhere! Given the current active movement towards IPv6. + A lot of goodies from this extract is another good protocol SPDY. You can not hinder the development of technologies and the need to push modern protocols to the masses. It remains to convince Microsoft's usefulness and necessity of these protocols and to persuade them to intensive implementation. By the way Firefox is already implementing a protocol support SPDY (expected in version 11), as well as support going into the popular web-server nginx.

from what I gathered from wikipedia, SCTP is not NAT friendly and shareaza doesn't even support ipv6 yet. Also, by implementing it as part of G2 we would be breaking compatibility with all other G2 clients (yes, there are many other G2 clients out there)

Yes and no. During our handshake we negotiate which additional features the other party and us do both support and use them accordingly. So this can be implemented for communicating with those we have had a handshake with informing us about them supporting it. Also even though it is not NAT friendly, there is a chance of being able to use it to solve some issues with poorly coded firewalls as some of them simply ignore it...
