Hi,

if you receive a malformed INIT-ACK the sender of that packet should
have no state. So sending an ABORT can not be processed at the
sender of the INIT-ACK but might be helpful for debugging purpose.

In general there is nothing specified for this and it is up to
you to decide what you prefer.

Best regards
Michael

Hi,
I have a general doubt on rfc 2960 handling of malformed packets.
When behaving as an SCTP server,  should we just ignore malformed INIT-ACK and subsequent messages during association establishment? When acting as a client, I assume sending Abort is fine.

If this is not the appropriate list for generic rfc queries, please redirect me to the right one.

Thanks!
Regards,
Sunita
