Abstract
Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with automated discovery of network devices supporting particular transport layer protocols, such as, but not limited to Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Packet switching devices automatically discover peer packet switching devices supporting a particular transport layer protocol, and then establish a session using the particular transport layer protocol between them for subsequent use in transporting packets.
