Others

Sctp requires more design within the application to get the best use of it;there are more options than tcp the sockets-like api came later and it is young from question Why is SCTP not much used/known |
As i understand websockets are on top of tcp and have higher latency than sctp that underlies webrtc when for example sending binary data between server and browser that also could be 2 peers in webrtc from question Is RTCDataChannel when configuration reliable = true faster then Websockets? |
