Subject: [Sigtran] doubt about sctp associations

Hi there,
         I am having a doubt about sctp associations when used in the M2UA Layer.

It says in RFC 3331, page 9, "The M2UA layer MUST maintain a map of an Interface ID to a physical interface on the Signalling Gateway.  A physical interface would be a V.35 line, T1 line/time slot, E1 line/time slot, etc.  The M2UA layer MUST also maintain a map of the Interface Identifier to SCTP association and to the related stream within the association."

So, does it mean that (always) a sctp association consists in 2 sctp endpoints (IP:Port address) and also the stream they use to communicate?

          thanks,
                  Miguel
