So, an association for which the current state is SHUTDOWN-SENT or SHUTDOWN-ACK-SENT should not counted in SctpCurrEstab. Right? But, actually, the implementation of Linux is not consistent with the spec. An association is thought as "established" with the current state of ESTABLISHED, SHUTDOWN-RECEIVED, SHUTDOWN-PENDING. SHUTDOWN-SENT or SHUTDOWN-ACK-SENT. Has any reasons for this implementation? If not, I think we should fix it. -- Best Regards ----- Shan Wei
