Securing GTP and SCTP Traffic

SCTP Firewall Support (MX480, MX960, MX2008, MX2010, MX2020, MX10003, MX10004, MX10008, and MX10016)—We support firewall filters for Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) traffic, allowing network administrators to inspect and manage SCTP packets with custom filters at both ingress and egress points. This update enhances network security by enabling granular control over SCTP traffic, supporting a full range of firewall actions such as accepting, discarding, logging, or tracking packets based on specific criteria. The integration of SCTP filtering into the firewall infrastructure strengthens protection against unauthorized access and potential threats, ensuring only legitimate SCTP traffic passes through the network.
