Hello, With the Linux SCTP implementation, Max.Init.Retransmits is respected when INIT messages do not receive a response (ie, if SCTP host is unavailable). However, if a Linux SCTP host is accessible, but has no SCTP servers listening for incoming connections, it will quickly reply ABORT. This doesn't trigger the Max.Init.Retransmits logic, so, retries occur indefinitely. I looked through RFC 2960 for some guidance here. Both 3.3.7 and 4 were unclear for how this should be handled. I suspect that these ABORT responses to INIT should count towards Max.Init.Retransmits. Is there any clarification that I haven't found? What do the SCTP experts think should happen here?
