Dear all,

I need some lessons in SCTP restart behaviour.

Consider the following case:

Node A sends INIT with OS = 10, MIS=10
Node Z sends INIT-ACK with OS=10, MIS=10

Finally the association will be up with 10 streams in both directions.

Now node A fails and starts the restart procedure.
But Node A sends INIT with OS=10, MIS=5
Node Z can respond with OS = 5, MIS 10.

The association can be established with 10 / 5 streams.

Is this a valid restart szenario? Or is it invalid due to
the wrong numbers of streams?

Using the API in RFC the user at Node Z has to ask for
the number of streams using the sctp_status primitive after
the restart notification.

Best regards
Michael
