Subject: Question about SCTP_UNKNOWN
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 18:55:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfd9791f-bafa-4592-b819-c805e98b5140@broadforward.com> (raw)

Hi,

Sometimes we observe that the remote address state (spinfo_state in 
struct sctp_paddrinfo) of a single-homed SCTP association is set to 
SCTP_UNKNOWN (0xffff).

At that time, nothing seems wrong with the single homed association; the 
association is established and transmitting data.

Can someone explain to me what SCTP_UNKNOWN means? Is something wrong, 
we do not know about?

The only thing I could find about SCTP_UNKNOWN, is the description in 
sctp.h:

"UNKNOWN: Peer address passed by the upper layer in sendmsg or 
connect[x] calls."

Not very helpful...

B.t.w. we use Rocky Linux 8.

Regards,

Marc
