Hello All, According to the RFC, a peeled-off socket is a one-to-one socket. But in lksctp a peeled-off socket it not TCP style, it's UDP_HIGH_BANDWIDTH style. Because of this, shutdown() doesn't work, linger probably doesn't work, and so on. For example, in sctp_shutdown(): static void sctp_shutdown(struct sock *sk, int how) { struct net *net = sock_net(sk); struct sctp_endpoint *ep; if (!sctp_style(sk, TCP)) return; Here we just bail out, because a peeled-off socket is not TCP style. Is this just a bug, or am I missing something? Asking mostly out of personal curiosity.
