Re: [PATCH] Was: [Lksctp-developers] Destination address lost while not in LAN???

[Pawel H. <Paw...@im...>]

Hi Jon

Yes, I tried this patch and it seems to be working OK while applied to
2.5.65 - I hope it will be incorporated in the next versions.
I tested it only once because I have problems with my testbed.
I will do some more tests soon.

For now, Happy Easter for all
Pawel
