This draft defines extension to the SCTP Socket API draft[1] for Congestion Handling. SCTP Protocol has been widely accepted by the VoIP forum. SIGTRAN protocols (M3UA/SUA/M2UA/M2PA etc) provide procedures for handling congestion notification from the SCTP Stack layer. This draft provides mechanism for SCTP applications to enable/ disable notification of congestion indications over SCTP Socket Interface. This draft suggests notification to application at onset and abatement of congestion.
