Hi All,



SCTP specifies that during association start up itself the endpoints
can specify the number of inbound and outbound streams. My first
question is:



1 why is there a necesscity for having multiple streams within a
single association? Doesn't data transfer over single stream suffice
on either side.

2. During association start up if endpoint has specified 'm' outbound
and 'n' streams, is it possible that endpoint can put some message on
stream 1 and another message on stream 2 through socketsapi ?

Even if the above thing is possible how does it matter to application
whether the application is coming from stream 1 or stream 2.



I am somewhat confused with the concept of "number" of inbound and
outbound streams over a SCTP association.



I would be thankful if someone could throw light on the above
questions



Regards

Rohit Agrawal
