SCTP Packet Structure
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) has a simpler basic packet structure than TCP. Each consists of two basic sections:
- The common header, which occupies the first 12 bytes. In the diagram to the right, this header is highlighted in blue.
- The data chunks, which form the remaining portion of the packet. In the diagram, the first chunk is highlighted in green and the last of N chunks (Chunk N) is highlighted in red.

Famous quotes containing the words packet and/or structure:
“we know our end
A packet of worm-seed, a garden of spent tissues.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
