Hi:

I have some problems I never encountered when I tested fault tolerant.
Following is my testing architecture:

IP1
Client <---------------->IP3 Server
IP2

IP1 (eth1): 140.116.247.135
IP2 (eth0): 211.21.216.51
IP3: 140.116.247.251
default route: 140.116.247.253
(Three IPs can work fine individually.)

Several situations are following:
1. If client connects to server used IP1, it works fine.
2. If client connects to server used IP2, it connects unsuccessful (I don't
know what is happened).
3. If client connects to server used IP1 and IP2, it also connects
unsuccessful.

So, I can not test fault tolerant by using sctp programs,
because IP2 can not work fine individually.

Originally my notion is if IP1 failed, IP2 should continue to work fine, but
the fact is IP2 also can not work, because IP2 can't find route to connect.

I guess the situation is since eth1 has been disabled,
and IP2 can't find default route(client's default route is eth1),
so IP2 also can't work normally.

If the problem is like as my guessed, how should I test fault tolerant using
SCTP?
Whether this problem can be solved by setting route table or something else?

Another problem, I also test sctp program, under cppsocket program, using
IPv6, but it doesn't seem to wok fine.
Could the programs in sctplib/program support IPv6??

[root@bear cppsocket_programs]# ./sctptftp
