Hi list,

I have some question about default values in SCTP.

What is the default value to initial cwnd? Is it set
to 2 MTU’s of 1500 bytes each or it depends of
implementation?
Section 2.30 of RFC 4460 says:
o The initial cwnd before DATA transmission or after a
sufficiently long idle period MUST be set to
min(4*MTU, max (2*MTU, 4380 bytes)).
So for a MTU of 1500 bytes it becomes 4380 bytes.

The destination address is declared unreachable if the
Destination Error count exceeds a threshold. It is the
default value 5?
That is what RFC 2960 recommends.

The peer is declared unreachable when Association
Error count exceeds a threshold, thus the peer is
marked as unreachable and the association is torn
down. Is it the default value 8?

That is what RFC 2960 recommends.
Thanks,

Pablo Resende
