Hi!!
I am testing the multihoming feature of SCTP. There are two endpoints A and
B both supporting two physical paths between the endpoints. Association and
the data transfer occurs in the primary path where after a while, the
primary path is physically brought down and the transfer starts occurring in
the secondary path. Which is what u would expect BUT even after the primary
path is made inactive there are DATA chunks still been sent on the primary
address which causes a delay in the secondary path transmission. According
to my understanding of the protocol, the data will be sent to the primary
address until the threshold set by the protocol parameter Path.Max.Retrans
(section 7.2.2 in SCTP book by Randall) is exceeded . So could you guide me
in how the parameters Path.Max.Retrans and the HB.Interval (Heartbeat
period) can be modified so that I can reduce the number of DATA chunks sent
on the primary after this address is made INACTIVE.
Thanks for your help.
