Hi!!
I have got a couple of queries
Firstly is the Multi homing feature automatically enabled whenever a SCTP
association take place. By that I mean is all the addresses available at

It depends on the API. If you use the sctplib and provide some addresses
only those will be used. If you use 0.0.0.0, then all are used automatically.
If you use the socket API and bind explicitly to one address or several using
bindx, only those will be used. If you use INADDR_ANY, all will be used
automatically. However, always some scoping takes place.

each endpoint defined in the INIT chunk.If thats the case is it possible to
define just one address in the association process

Yes. Just bind to one address.

Another problem that I am facing is that...even though there are two
adddresses available at each endpoint, the program is able to connect to the
primary address which and then for some reason after sending some data to
the primary address it changes to the secondary address and send the rest of
the data........ I checked my traces and there are no packet drops, no

Can you send an ethereal trace showing the behaviour? Possibly it is the
IP setup.

delays or any kind of network failure happening for it to changeover for no
reason...could you please shed some light on this..............
thanks for ur help.............

I assume that you use the latest version of the software...
