Hi,
as most of you probably know, there are two different proposals for how to
encapsulate SCTP and DCCP inside UDP.
One approach proposes two protocol-specific encapsulation schemes (described in
draft-tuexen-sctp-udp-encaps and draft-ietf-dccp-udpencap).
The second approach proposes a generi

I don't think that counts as a we-chose-to-use-SCTP end user...
SIGTRAN infrastructure in the telephony providers doesn't go through NAT. ergo,
SCTP's most popular use doesn't need to go through NAT. And DCCP doesn't need
to go through NAT, because no-one uses DCCP... so there's no need to tunne
Hi,
please keep this discussion focused on which approach we should follow for
UDP-encapsulating DCCP and SCTP.
I'm happy Lloyd posted his views. I'm hoping other community members will speak
up as well. If I were asked to characterize current consensus, I'd probably say

UDP encapsulation of these protocols can already be done. Tunnelling is not
new. IP packet, UDP header, IP outer header, you're done.

They're already deployment failures.
Straightforward UDP tunnelling (encapsulate IP packet in UDP payload, that's
all) is not happening for these protocols.
A custom encapsulation method tailored just to carrying these protocols (in
effect, a pointless addition to each protocol) is not justified
IMHO, what should drive the use or no use of UDP is "the need and use of
UDP functons", rather then "the need to make the SCTP and SCCP more
popular because of using a popular transport". Perhaps I am not reading
right the motivation, but I somehow get that frm the thread - sorry...

Hi Fred,
I can understand in general your point that things should not be done multiple
times.
So you argue not to have a UDP and SCTP/DCCP checksum and not to duplicate the

But encapsulation methods intended for endhosts wind up in middleboxes.
Look at Cisco's RBSCP and WAAS (and the recently discontinued NCE), which
already rewrite between SCTP and TCP checksums.
Any new encap method blessed by the IETF must be considered for worst-case
middlebox use - where rewr
That's hardly integrated into a shipping IP stack.
FreeBSD may be an SCTP reference implementation, but that's not significant

Hi Lars,

I feel that option 2 is a chimera. The 'G' in the GUT proposal stands

(a solution for 2. already exists. It's called UDP tunnelling.)

Randall,
If you're referring to RBSCP, which is a weak TCP/SCTP PEP that
uses SCTP between tunnel endpoints, then yes, that is available
in SCTP-capable Cisco routers. But it's not in widespread use.
having a large number of IANA PPIDs for SCTP is simply
an indication that SCTP is overspecified.

Although those specific encaps could be very similar, or in fact
