Bug Description

It appears that UFW only supports UDP and TCP while I have a need to also manage SCTP ports.

As iptables supports SCTP, I have understood that I can edit the rules by myself under /etc/ufw/, but it would be easier and less error-prone if UFW supported SCTP directly like TCP and UDP.

I have also heard of DDCP together with SCTP and while I don't think I will need to touch it, I wonder could UFW support everything that iptables does and if iptables refuses something, could UFW then refuse it too? (Sorry about asking two things in one bug report.)

I originally asked about SCTP in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ufw/+question/688017 and I am not sure how to transfer it into a question.
