Re: [Lksctp-developers] SCTP linux multihoming question

[Son L. <so...@no...>]

Hi Vlad,
 Thanks for you info. Another quick question wrt sctp_bindx. If the
end-point is multi-homed, then we call this API multiple of times to
bind the ip addresses correct ? OR we should called this API once. I
assumed that it makes no different if you call this multiple times with
and providing a single ip address each time OR call it once and provide
multiple ip addresses.

Thanks,
Son

Yes,  the issue would be in the lksctp stack itself (the kernel), and
not any signaling layer transports on top of SCTP.
