Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is an unreliable, connection
|
||||
based protocol designed to solve issues present in UDP and TCP particularly
|
||||
for real time and multimedia traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
It has a base protocol and pluggable congestion control IDs (CCIDs).
|
||||
|
||||
It is at draft RFC status and the homepage for DCCP as a protocol is at:
|
||||
http://www.icir.org/kohler/dcp/
|
||||
|
||||
Missing features
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
The DCCP implementation does not currently have all the features that are in
|
||||
the draft RFC.
|
||||
|
||||
In particular the following are missing:
|
||||
- CCID2 support
|
||||
- feature negotiation
|
||||
|
||||
When testing against other implementations it appears that elapsed time
|
||||
options are not coded compliant to the specification.
|
||||
|
||||
Socket options
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
DCCP_SOCKOPT_PACKET_SIZE is used for CCID3 to set default packet size for
|
||||
calculations.
|
||||
|
||||
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. This is compulsory as per the
|
||||
specification. If you don't set it you will get EPROTO.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
SELinux does not yet have support for DCCP. You will need to turn it off or
|
||||
else you will get EACCES.
|
||||
|
||||
DCCP does not travel through NAT successfully at present. This is because
|
||||
the checksum covers the psuedo-header as per TCP and UDP. It should be
|
||||
relatively trivial to add Linux NAT support for DCCP.
