Prathap, Actually SCTP has two IP addresses one primary n another secondary ip. If primary goes down, the SCTP will switch to secondary. Same thing is mentioned in RFC also.

Hi:
What is the mechanism SCTP must use to detect unavailability of one of it's local interface.
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??
Regards, Prathap. |
