Hi:

What is the mechanism SCTP must use to detect unavailability of one of it's local interface.
The sctplib does this by reading from a routing socket. Kernel implementations
do it differently.

for ex, if there are two local IP addresses available say,
IP1, IP2. SCTP is using IP1 to communicate with the peer.
For some reasons IP1 goes down, and how should SCTP
detect this and start using the other local IP address to send data to it's peer. Is there anything specified in the RFC about this??
No. The RFC does not cover the implementation...

Regards,
Prathap.
