Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)

Palo Alto Networks firewalls support SCTP security so that you can inspect, validate, and filter your SCTP traffic.
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), defined in RFC 4960, is a reliable, message-based transport protocol. Mobile networks widely use SCTP to transport signaling traffic on various interfaces, such as S1-MME, S6a, and X2, and to send multiple streams of signaling, voice, and other data simultaneously. Configure SCTP security on Palo Alto Networks® next-generation firewalls to inspect, validate, and filter your SCTP traffic.
