I tried using virtual box nat networks but couldn't get it to work. It seemed like the host answered with ICMP port unreachable on the INIT ACK. 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 that it's recently implemented in BSD. Is failover implemented in lksctp? 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? 2016-07-21 19:12 GMT+02:00 Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@xxxxxxxxx>: > Please don't top post.. > > On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 02:49:56PM +0200, Fabian Bergmark wrote: >> Indeed the issue was solved by using virtual machines.
