In computer networking, **Structured Stream Transport (SST)** is an experimental [transport protocol](/source/Transport_protocol) that provides an ordered, reliable byte stream abstraction similar to [TCP](/source/Transmission_Control_Protocol)'s, but enhances and optimizes stream management to permit applications to use streams in a much more fine-grained fashion than is feasible with TCP streams.
