<modulesummary>Diameter transport over SCTP.</modulesummary>
<description>
<p>
This module implements diameter transport over SCTP using &gen_sctp;.
It can be specified as the value of a transport_module option to
&mod_add_transport;
and implements the behaviour documented in
&man_transport;.</p>

<p>
The start function required by &man_transport;.</p>
<p>
Options <c>raddr</c> and <c>rport</c> specify the remote address
and port for a connecting transport and not valid for a listening
transport: the former is required while latter defaults to 3868 if
unspecified.
Multiple <c>raddr</c> options can be specified, in which case the
connecting transport in question attempts each in sequence until
an association is established.</p>
<p>
Option <c>accept</c> specifies remote addresses for a listening
transport and is not valid for a connecting transport.
If specified, a remote address that does not match one of the
specified addresses causes the association to be aborted.
Multiple <c>accept</c> options can be specified.
A string-valued <c>Match</c> that does not parse as an address is
interpreted as a regular expression.</p>
<p>
Remaining options are any accepted by &gen_sctp_open1;, with the exception
of options <c>mode</c>, <c>binary</c>, <c>list</c>, <c>active</c>
and <c>sctp_events</c>.
Note that options <c>ip</c> and <c>port</c> specify the local address
and port respectively.</p>
<p>
Multiple <c>ip</c> options can be specified for a multihomed peer.
If none are specified then the values of <c>Host-IP-Address</c>
in the <c>diameter_service</c> record are used.
(In particular, one of these must be specified.)
Option <c>port</c> defaults to 3868 for a listening transport and 0 for a
connecting transport.</p>
<warning>
<p>
An insufficiently large receive buffer may result in a peer having to
resend incoming messages: set the &inet; option <c>recbuf</c> to increase
the buffer size.</p>
<p>
An insufficiently large send buffer may result in outgoing messages
being discarded: set the &inet; option <c>sndbuf</c> to increase
the buffer size.</p>
</warning>
<p>
The <c>transport_data</c> field of record <c>diameter_packet</c>
is used to communicate the stream on which an inbound message
has been received, or on which an outbound message should be sent.
The value will be of the form <c>{stream, Id}</c> for an inbound
message passed to a &app_handle_request; or &app_handle_answer;
callback.
For an outbound message, <c>{outstream, Id}</c> in the return value of
&app_handle_request; or &app_prepare_retransmit; sets the outbound
stream, the stream id being interpreted modulo the number of outbound
streams.
Any other value, or not setting a value, causes successive such sends
to cycle though all outbound streams.</p>
