Configuring SCTP Support for SIP

RFC 4168, The Stream Control Transfer Protocol (SCTP) as a Transport for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), specifies the requirements for SCTP usage as a layer 4 transport for SIP. Use the following steps to:

  • configure SCTP as the layer 4 transport for a SIP interface
  • create an SCTP-based SIP port
  • associate phy-interfaces/network interfaces with SIP realms
  • identify adjacent SIP servers that are accessible via SCTP
  • set SCTP timers and counters (optional)
