Title : Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Network
Address Translation
Author(s) : R. Stewart, M. Tuexen

Stream Control Transmission Protocol RFC2960 [6] provides a reliable
communications channel between two end-hosts in many ways similar to
TCP RFC793 [2]. 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 the
NAT) choose the same port numbers for their connection. This
additional code is sometimes classified as Network Address and Port
Translation or NAPT. To date, specialized code for SCTP has NOT yet
been added to most NAT's so that only pure NAT is available. The end
result of this is that only one SCTP capable host can be behind a
NAT.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-stewart-behave-sctpnat-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
