I have tried config SCTP but nothing change!

openstack security group rule create --ingress --remote-ip 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol 132 --dst-port 2000:10000 --description "SCTP" sctp openstack security group rule create --egress --remote-ip 0.0.0.0/0 --protocol 132 --dst-port 2000:10000 --description "SCTP" sctp

the security groups api is a whitelist model so all traffic is droped by default.

if you want to allow sctp you would ihave to create an new security group rule with ip_protocol set to the protocol number for sctp.

e.g. 
openstack security group rule create --protocol sctp ...

im not sure if neutron support --dst-port for sctp but you can still filter on --remote-ip or --remote-group and can specify the rule as an  --ingress or  --egress rule as normal.

https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/stein/cli/command-objects/security-group-rule.html

based on this commit https://github.com/openstack/neutron/commit/f711ad78c5c0af44318c6234957590c91592b984

it looks like neutron now validates the prot ranges for sctp impligying it support setting them so i gues its just a gap in the documentation.
