“SCTP is a reliable, general-purpose transport layer protocol for use on IP networks. While the protocol was originally designed for telephony signaling, SCTP provided an added bonus – it solved some of the limitations of TCP while borrowing beneficial features of UDP. SCTP provides features for high availability, increased reliability, and improved security for socket initiation. This article discusses the key features of SCTP in the Linux 2.6 kernel and takes a look at the server and client source code that shows the protocol’s ability to deliver multi-streaming.”
Great read, needed improvement, but lack of google results suggests that it’s not going to be a part of Vista. The only mention I could find was here:

From the article:
“The future of SCTP
SCTP is a relatively new protocol, considering that it became an RFC in October 2000. Since then, it has found its way into all major operating systems, including GNU/Linux, BSD, and Solaris. It’s also available for the Microsoft® Windows® operating systems as a third-party commercial package.”
vista already has something like this. It is called compound TCP/IP and it was invented by Microsoft Research and will be built in to Vista.
Here is a link to some information via PDF.

It is called compound TCP/IP and it was invented by Microsoft
The original SCTP RFC 2960 was posted in 2000. Much like Active Directory, CTCP looks to be another hijack of an existing standard that is bastardized and marketed to the max until MS has obscured all traces of its original origin.
MS doesn’t invent they heist. They don’t even use their own TCP stack. (source: little old guy we keep locked up in a closet at work so he can write Windows drivers without interruption)
That is fine by me. Let the Open source community be Microsoft’s Research and development all they want. It’s free for Microsoft to tap.
I don’t know if it is true or not in this case but so be it. Novell took the 3D desktop from Microsoft if you look at PDC 2003 so it’s fully justified in my opinion.

Your knowledge of the matter seems to be totally lacking. This isn’t an opensource technology. This is a protocol. Do you even know what an RFC is? Here is a little info for you to read up on.

That’s an interesting take on the matter considering Vista hasn’t even shipped yet and XGL has been worked on for years now and will ship with NLD10 before MS ships Vista.
