This requirement is mandated so that unauthorized hosts + would not be able to hijack associations.

Once this threshold is exceeded, the path is considered + unreachable, and new traffic will use a different path when the + association is multihomed. + + Default: 5 + +rto_initial - INTEGER + The initial round trip timeout value in milliseconds that will be used + in calculating round trip times.

SCTP supports the capability to create multiple + associations on a single socket. When using this capability, it is + possible that a single stalled association that's buffering a lot + of data may block other associations from delivering their data by + consuming all of the receive buffer space.
