Improvements to the SCTP Environment in the INET Framework

This code contribution paper provides an overview of the enhancements to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) environment of the INET FRAMEWORK. Besides a highly improved SCTP core protocol, a couple of SCTP extensions – being either already standardized or currently under discussion in the IETF – have been realized. Furthermore, extended test applications and an auto-routing module with multi-homing support have been added. These enhancements make state-of-the-art SCTP simulation scenarios possible.
