Hi ,

Where does SCTP define the destination address with which it is going
to create an association ?
There's a destination port number in the SCTP common header , but
where's the IP address ?

I think i got it ...the destination IP address is specified by the
SCTP users like SUA ...in the CLDT message of SUA , there 's a
destination address field .So when SCTP gets this message , it will
make an INIT chunk and then sent to the IP layer , where an IP packet
is made after taking the IP address from the SUA packet .
Can any one cofirm this explanation ?
