Thanks Michael.

I actually traced it using wildpacket ,filtered SCTP messages then saved it and ran it on wireshark. So it looks like wildpacket did not decode properly? I will try again without any filters. Once again thanks for your help.

Hi Ravi,

Wireshark is not able to dissect the packet correclty, because
the packet is not formatted correctly. Section 3.2 of RFC 4233
states that the length of the integer interface parameter is 8,
not 45 as in the trace.

So fix the implementation sending this packet.

Best regards
Michael
