Hi ,
I was going through the RFC 2960 of SCTP .One doubt that i have is how does SCTP identify the remote end of the association.There's a destination port number in the SCTP common header ,but where does it specify a destination IP address ? sars
A quick glance suggests that the destination endpoints are identified in an INIT chunk.
But the IP address field in the INIT chunk is the address of the sending end point .It is from this INIT chunk that the destination end point gets the source IP address . So the question remains...where does the sender specify the remote IP address?
I think i got it ...the destination IP address is specified by the SCTP users like SUA ...in the CLDT message of SUA , there 's a destination address field .So when SCTP gets this message , it will make an INIT chunk and then sent to the IP layer , where an IP packet is made after taking the IP address from the SUA packet . Can any one cofirm this explanation ?
I'd better give it a less quick glance...
