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 functions for TCP that allows multiple hosts to
   reside behind a NAT function and yet share a single IPv4 address,
   even when two hosts (behind a NAT function) 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 needed for the SCTP
   endpoints and the mechanisms for NAT functions necessary to provide
   similar features of NAPT in the single point and multipoint traversal
   scenario.
