SCTP Administrator's Guide

The endpoints of an association communicate with each other using these addresses.
These addresses also serve as the point of origination for the SCTP packets.
The association spans across all possible source or destination combinations, which
may be generated from each endpoint's lists. For more information on the SCTP
architecture, see the SCTP Programmer’s Guide available at:
