Number of streams in SCTP Association

Dear all,


Need one clarification please:


NUMBER OF STREAMS WITHIN AN SCTP ASSOCIATION - In quite a few RFCs, it is
mentioned that the NUMBER OF STREAMS within one SCTP Association can be USER
DEFINED, & that the two end-nodes NEGOTIATE these at the time "Association
Set Up". However, REPEATEDLY, these RFCs also suggest that STREAM 0 shall be
used for interchange of CONTROL MESSAGES while STREAM 1 (Note: They call it
STREAM-1, & NOT "other than Stream 0") carries Data.

It is NOT very clear if the RFCs THEMSELVES are specifying / suggesting that
AT MAX, there should be ONLY TWO STREAMs OR is it more a DEFAULT by most
PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS who have (to keep matters less complex) decided to
IMPLEMENT only TWO STREAMS.


Thanks and Regards,

Aditi
