Re: Chunk bundling indicator ?

Hi Bülent,

there is no indication in the SCTP common header how many chunks are  
present
in the packet. Any number (even 0) is allowed.

Because the chunks have a tag-length-value (TLV) structure the receiver  
and even
ethereal can understand the structure of the packet.

It is OK to have multiple chunks (even, multiple DATA chunks) in one  
packet.

Best regards
Michael
