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.
