[afnog] NATing SCTP

[JC Cockburn]

Hi,
I had the same issue long ago when also working for one of the Mobile SPs...
On our side we also had SCTP equipment that could not change their (public) IP addresses and the peer had to route to our side using the private IPs (I know...sux).
Luckily our peers had the forethought of using public IPs on their equipment.

We used Cisco ASA's which did not support NAT of SCTP...

I think it prolly still works this way...hehe

Ciao and good luck
JC

I am actually doing one-to-one  mapping only because the devices on my side doing the SCTP associations were already in production on private network, since when they were deployed which is sometime back there was no need for them to be on public space,  and changing their IPs is a bit hectic, so needed something that will work until they are changed.

if afrinic still has IP address space, (and by all accounts, they still
do) why are you using nat?
