SCTP on Cilium

Learn in this short lab how Cilium can transport, secure and visualize SCTP flows.

SCTP is a popular signalling protocol, used primarily by service providers and mobile operators.

SCTP support for Kubernetes Services, Endpoint and NetworkPolicy was introduced in Kubernetes 1.12 (Beta) and was eventually graduated to Stable in Kubernetes 1.20.

Basic support for SCTP was introduced in Cilium 1.13.

This lab will walk you through SCTP communications, security and flow visibility.
