Title : UDP Encapsulation of SCTP Packets for End-Host to End-Host Communication

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 only describes the functionality
required within an SCTP stack to add on UDP encapsulation, providing
only those mechanisms for two end-hosts to communicate with each
other over UDP ports. In particular, it does not provide mechanisms
to determine whether UDP encapsulation is being used by the peer, nor
the mechanisms for determining which remote UDP port number can be
used. These functions are are out of scope for this document.
This document covers only end-hosts and not tunneling (egress or
ingress) end-points.
