# Class SendFailedNotification

java.lang.Object
com.sun.nio.sctp.SendFailedNotification

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Notification`

public abstract class SendFailedNotification extends Object implements Notification
Notification emitted when a send failed notification has been received.

A send failed notification indicates that a message cannot be delivered. Typically, this is because the association has been shutdown with unsent data in the socket output buffer, or in the case of a `SctpMultiChannel` the association failed to setup.

Since:
  1.7

    The errorCode gives the reason why the send failed, and if set, will be a SCTP protocol error code as defined in RFC2960 section 3.3.10

    Returns:
      The error code

  - ### streamNumber

    public abstract int streamNumber()
