Abstract:
   This document describes a simple method of encapsulating SCTP Packets
   into UDP packets and its limitations.  This allows the usage of SCTP
   in networks with legacy NAT not supporting SCTP.  It can also be used
   to implement SCTP on hosts without directly accessing the IP-layer,
   for example implementing it as part of the application without
   requiring special privileges.

   Please note that this document does not provide all techniques
   necessary for building a complete NAT-capable application using SCTP.
   This document focuses on the functionality required within the SCTP
   stack and making this available via an API.  It does not cover
   mechanism to determine whether UDP encapsulation is required to reach
   the peer and, if UDP encapsulation is used, which remote UDP port
   number can be used.

   This document covers only end-hosts and not tunneling (egress or
   ingress) end-points.
