The SBC Core supports Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as a transport for SIP. SCTP is an IETF transport-layer protocol which provides several enhancements over the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), including:
If the SCTP profile is not configured, then it will take the default SCTP profile. If the SCTP profile needs to be modified when associated with SIP signaling port, the port should be disabled for modification to take effect.
Multi-homing and IPv6 feature for SCTP are not supported in this release.
On the SBC main screen, go to Configuration > Profile Management > Category: Signaling Profiles > SCTP Profile.
