Abstract:
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) provides a reliable
communications channel between two end-hosts in many ways similar to
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). With the widespread
deployment of Network Address Translators (NAT), specialized code has
been added to NAT for TCP that allows multiple hosts to reside behind
a NAT and yet use only a single globally unique IPv4 address, even
when two hosts (behind a NAT) choose the same port numbers for their
connection. This additional code is sometimes classified as Network
Address and Port Translation (NAPT).
This document describes the protocol extensions required for the SCTP
endpoints and the mechanisms for NATs necessary to provide similar
features of NAPT in the single-point and multi-point traversal
scenario.
