Procedure for the use of SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Transmission protocol with flow control) in MPLS (multi procol label switching, Multiprotocol Label Switching).

摘要

Method for transmission of information (14) via a network between two entities (11) with a first protocol which is MPLS and used for transmitting information (14) between two entities (11) network paths, characterized by tags that serve in each case to represent a FEC (= Forward equivalence class, equivalence class retransmission) MPLS being unambiguously determined a target entity (11) and a source entity (11) of network paths with a label, and the label unequivocally to a network path being associated with a second transport protocol which builds on the first protocol, ensuring the transport protocol receiving information (14) by a confirmation information, with a first initialization step (Init), which via a first network path labels 1 to n network paths which allow an exchange of information between exchanged in tities (11), a second step of information exchange in which the information (14) via the 1 to n network paths are exchanged.
