Hi,

which SCTP implementation are you using? The sctplib or the Linux kernel
implementation or
a different one?

I looked at the trace and I don't see any suspicious... Maybe having a
wireshark
from all interfaces at the sender of the ABORT chunk might help...

I don't think that this kind of stuff would result in sending an ABORT...

You can send trace files directly to me, since the mailing list enforces
strict
size limits...
