Stream Control Transmission Protocol From RFC 2960 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2960.txt>. "SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It offers the following services to its users: -- acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data, -- data fragmentation to conform to discovered path MTU size, -- sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams, with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user messages, -- optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP packet, and -- network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi- homing at either or both ends of an association." To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sctp. If in doubt, say N.
This module allows for capturing the changes to SCTP association state in response to incoming packets. It is used for debugging SCTP congestion control algorithms. If you don't understand what was just said, you don't need it: say N. To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sctp_probe.
If you say Y, this will enable verbose debugging messages. If unsure, say N. However, if you are running into problems, use this option to gather detailed trace information
If you say Y, this will enable debugging support for counting the type of objects that are currently allocated. This is useful for identifying memory leaks. This debug information can be viewed by 'cat /proc/net/sctp/sctp_dbg_objcnt' If unsure, say N
HMAC algorithm to be used during association initialization. It is strongly recommended to use HMAC-SHA1 or HMAC-MD5. See configuration for Cryptographic API and enable those algorithms to make usable by SCTP.
Choosing this disables the use of an HMAC during association establishment. It is advised to use either HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1.
Enable the use of HMAC-SHA1 during association establishment. It is advised to use either HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1.
Enable the use of HMAC-MD5 during association establishment. It is advised to use either HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1.
