SCTP > DCCP
1 comments

So... tell us more? This comment is about as useless by itself as "vim ftw" would be on an Emacs article.
We can live without both of these. If one must choose, SCTP is better than DCCP in all practical situations, that I can think of. Ref: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datagram_Congestion_Control_Pr... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_Control_Transmission_Pr...
And honestly, "DCCP vs SCTP" is more like "ed vs vim". They are both meant to address the needs of very different use cases.
Googling around for a comparison, and came across this paper. Looks interesting so far.
