Why are the SCTP header files values out of sync with kernel in RHEL 6.4?
Issue
- User space application is sending a
sctp_opt_info()withSCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO. The return code inspinfo_stateis used to determine if the association is up or down. - RHEL 6.4 has new state named
SCTP_UNCONFIRMED. Apparently, thespinfo_stateis always showingSCTP_UNCONFIRMEDorSCTP_INACTIVEand never going toSCTP_ACTIVE. - If the association is working, at least one transport/network needs to be in
SCTP_ACTIVEstate. But its not happening.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
