Re: Multiple SCTP associations

Hello Sergey,

It is not possible to have two SCTP associations between two
Signalling processes by definition, since an association connects two
SCTP endpoints and a Signalling Process is characterized by its SCTP
endpoint. If you use another port number, or use dynamic port numbers
you get another Signalling Process.

It is possible that you have the same Signalling Process using
different SCTP endpoints during non-overlapping time periods, then the
Signalling Process shall identify itself via ASP_ID.

Tolga pointed it right, one consequence is that state machines will not work.

Пока, пока
