Abstract: Provided is a stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) association redirection method and apparatus, a non-transitory storage medium, and a processor. The method includes following: A first network element determines whether an initial trigger message of a UE traffic flow transmitted by a second network element is received, where the initial trigger message of the UE traffic flow is transmitted through an SCTP association on which the UE currently sticks or through a new SCTP association after the second network element redirects the UE to the new SCTP association; and the first network element performs an SCTP association redirection on the UE in response to a determination result.

Abstract: Provided is an association redirection method. The method includes following steps: a first network element determines a trigger mode for triggering an association redirection of a UE, and the first network element performs the association redirection on the UE according to the determined trigger mode. Further provided are an association redirection apparatus, a processor and a storage medium.

Abstract: Disclosed are a communication method, equipment, system, and computer storage medium. The method includes: establishing, by a first network node, a stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) association pool with a second network node, where the SCTP association pool includes at least one SCTP associations; selecting, by the first network node, from the SCTP association pool, an SCTP association for signaling transmission; and performing, by the first network node, via the SCTP association, the signaling transmission with the second network node.
