Does multiples Associations between same "sctp-endpoints" have same "sctp-endpoints" name.

Question

I have 2 nodes MSC & SCP and I need to create multiple associations with the details as follows.

Association Name                 SCTP-endpoints      IP            Port
AS1                              MSC and SCTP        1.1.1.1       1111
AS2                              MSC and SCTP        1.1.1.1       1112
AS3                              MSC and SCTP        1.1.1.1       1113

Is it possible with above information for each association SCTP-Endpoints remains same, but port is different.

Comments

I think  he is asking like this  , (correct me if I am wrong)

Is it possible to create multiple association(AS1, AS2 and AS3) between MSC and SCP  on same IP , same name ( it is end point name)  and different port ??

Answer 1

Could not understand what you are trying to do, but its not feasible. SCTP uniquely identifies the endpoint by IP-Address + Hostname (though vendor specific behaviour can be different).

But my question is why are you trying to do this, from the post it seems that you are trying to achieve the M3UA version of sigtran which run on port 2905 so in the lab u can have any port but in the real deployment it should be 2905.
