Re: Minimum Number of Streams in SCTP

What about the specific case of M3UA running over SCTP. M3UA does not allow data messages to be sent over stream 0. However, there is no mention in either RFC's (M3UA or SCTP) about the minimum number of streams to be opened. My question was strictly for M3UA over SCTP. The implementation I work on rejects associations with streams less than 2. However,  I found no support for this behaviour in the RFC.

I dont see why M3UA should not allow data transmission on stream '0', if the number of negotiated streams is 1. If not then RFC 3332 should mention that the number of streams to be used should always be >1.

 The statement that "DATA message cannot be sent on stream 0" is not true for all UA's. For example 
  
 M3UA 3332: 
 4.1.1 Receipt of Primitives from the M3UA-User
 DATA messages MUST be sent on an SCTP stream other than stream '0'.
  
 SUA 3868:
 4.1.1.  Receipt of Primitives from SCCP
DATA messages MUST be sent on an SCTP stream other than stream '0' when there is more than one stream.
 
 Thus SUA does allow sending DATA on Stream 0, if there is only one stream.

 Does SCTP RFC specify the minimum no. of strems that must be opened. If not, then what happens if there is only one stream negoitated (i.e stream id 0). DATA message cannot be sent on stream 0. This leads me to think that there must be atleast two streams. Any references in the RFC, pls quote.  

Thanks in advance,
Aditya
