Dear Sebastien,

try having a look at section 6.4.8 of the accompanying manual.
(that is the document sctp-api-1.0-1.pdf in the manual subdirectory).

Please beware that the asymmetric use of multi-homing in SCTP
may sometimes yield results that are not as expected. That is
due to the fact that we do not set the source addresses of outgoing
packets ourselves.
Your routing will set only one of the client adresses as source
IP address for all packets going to the server. The server may
send packets to either of the IP addresses.


Best regards,

Andreas
