Re: [Lksctp-developers] [PATCH net-next-2.6 v4 4/5] sctp: Add ASCONF operation on the single-homed host

[Michio H. <mi...@sf...>]

I just re-submitted cumulative patches.  

About your suggestion to split the patch that reset route at the reception of ASCONF-ACK, I removed those codes.  
Because we'd already reset the route just before ASCONF, so not needed after the ASCONF-ACK reception.  
I believe the other parts follow all your comments.  
I also cleaned up many parts in single-homed host support patch.  

Thanks,
- Michio
