Hi all,

even in case the OOTB handling is disabled, the connect call should return
after some time due to the INIT retransmissions. It may take more than one
minute.

Best regards

Hello,

I am using socketapi-1.0.1 and sctplib-1.0.0-pre19 . When I run the cpp
socket api sample programs. i.e sctpmultiserver and sctpterminal. The
sctpterminal, which is an example of sctp client does not return if the
sctpmultiserver is not listening. It just says "connecting...." for a long
time. What could be the problem ?..Should the Connect call not return on
failure ??

I assume you try to connect to a port the server is not listening to. The
RFC2960-compliant behaviour would be that the server sends back an ABORT
message. This would create a problem when more than one instance are running
on the same host. For example, if you start server A on port 1000 and server
B on port 2000, server B would immediately send an abort when it sees an INIT
message to server A (port 1000). Therefore, the socket API's default
behaviour is to simply ignore out of the blue (OOTB) packets and do nothing.

To turn OOTB handling on, add a call of "sctp_enableOOTBHandling(1)" to both,
client and server. Then, you will get the desired behaviour.


Best regards
