Hello all,
in some fairly common implementation of M3UA/SCTP of one of the major
Scandinavian
vendor I see in ethereal something strange:
Several SCTP packets (packets as oposed to chunks, i.e. with two
separate SCTP headers)
are bundled over the same one IP packet. Question: is it some
massaging of packets
happening in ethereal or is it, indeed, possible option, should later
be the case can
you point me to the spec that describes it. To make clear: I do not
speak about chunk
bundling here  but something that looks like packet bundling, indeed.
