no, NAT is not a firewall technology.  it's not exactly a router
technology either, though it is often incorporated in routers, and
devices that primarily exist to perform NAT are often marketed as "routers".

the point is that ordinary packet forwarding devices (i.e. routers)
don't break SCTP, but NATs do.

that state of denial, no matter what.
