Regarding multihoming. My setup will be a server with one interface and
a client with several. I was hoping to achieve load balancing. Is CMP
implemented in lksctp? If not, is there anyone working on that? I read

Concurrent Multipath Transfer you mean? No, and not even in the charts that I know of.

that it's recently implemented in BSD. Is failover implemented in lksctp?

We are usually a few steps behind BSD regarding SCTP.

Yes, failover is implemented.

Currently, the application may set the primary addr for it and for the peer, but not much more than that. (SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR, SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR)

I'm afraid lksctp won't match your goal for load balancing on sctp paths.


Both interfaces of the client can reach the server IP. I could maybe
create a secondary interface for the server and force traffic to that IP
on the secondary IF. Is this necessary for failover/CMP to work?

As long as both peers have at least 2 IPs to talk to each other, it should work fine.

I have noted down to check this situation on having only 1 IP, will check when possible. Or maybe Neil or someone else knows better.

    Ok good.

    Ok. Yet, why don't you do it with 2 VMs, each with 2 NICs on distinct
    subnets?

    Take a traffic capture and check INIT and INIT_ACK packets, they will
    contain which addresses the peer is announced.

    > this or doesn't SCTP support multi-homing in this setup?

    But yeah, as you are doing it, it looks more like multi-path than
    multi-homing and it protects only part of your connection, as there is
    some part of the path that is common to both routes. As I'm
    understanding, both interfaces on the guest have a default route that
    can reach the same IP address of the server.

    I couldn't get to a root cause on why but I didn't have much luck with
    this setup either. If you manage to have 2 IPs for each peer, it should
    work.
