SCTP-DATA chunk
An SCTP-DATA chunk is a piece of data sent over the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), which is a communication protocol used to send messages across networks. In SCTP, messages are grouped into chunks, and the DATA chunk specifically carries the actual message content from one endpoint to another. This chunk is essential for delivering reliable and orderly messages, especially in applications like voice or video calls. The structure of the DATA chunk includes information that ensures the message reaches its destination correctly, making SCTP a robust choice for certain types of network communication.
