SCTP

   Also found in: Acronyms 0.01 sec.
SCTP
(1) (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) An alternative to TCP that supports multiple transmission paths. Designed to facilitate SS7 signaling over TCP/IP, SCTP supports multiple IP addresses from the same host (multihomed host) and treats the data streams from these addresses as one session. Unlike TCP, which requires a strict order of delivery, SCTP does not. Thus, if one of the data streams fails, the others are allowed to continue. See SIGTRAN.

(2) (SCreened Twisted Pair) See twisted pair.

These young shooters not only competed against SCTP teams from around the country, they battled through wind, heat and nerves, and still put up impressive scores.
2 enables users to easily emulate network elements such as Application Servers (ASs), Application Server Processes (ASPs), Signaling Gateways (SGs), Signaling Processes (SPs) or Signal Transfer Points (STPs) that use SS7 and SUA over SCTP and IP network connections for signalling protocol delivery.
