Does the kernel SCTP implementation have the implementation of RFC 4821
(Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery) ? I am using 2.6.32-358.23.2
kernel, and did NOT find the implementation of RFC 4821 yet.

Thanx.

SCTP gets its mtu for outgoing paths from the ip layer (via dst_mtu).  IIRC that
is 4821 compliant

And how is the probing done? SCTP wouldn't send messages larger than the PMTU?

No, ip layer mtu discovery is not 4821 compliant.  SCTP does not 
implement PMTU probing from 4821.  Only TCP in linux appears to support
that.
