The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) has a simpler basic packet structure than TCP.
This parameter is used by a sender to inform the receiver that it wishes to reset the sequence numbers (or message-ids if I-DATA is used) for its outgoing streams.
This parameter is used by a sender to request that the receiver resets the sequence numbers (or message-ids if I-DATA is used) for its outgoing streams.
This parameter is used by a sender to inform the receiver that it wishes to reset all TSNs and all SSNs/MIDs for all streams.
The PAD chunk was introduced to facilitate path MTU discovery,[7] by enabling a sender to arbitrarily increase the size of an SCTP packet.
This means that all fragments in a message must be sent using consecutive TSNs, effectively blocking all other data.
