> Don't transition to the PF state on every strike after 'Path.Max.Retrans'.
> Per draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-failover-03 Section 5.1.6:
> 
>    Additional (PMR - PFMR) consecutive timeouts on a PF destination
>    confirm the path failure, upon which the destination transitions to the
>    Inactive state.  As described in [RFC4960], the sender (i) SHOULD notify
>    ULP about this state transition, and (ii) transmit heartbeats to the
>    Inactive destination at a lower frequency as described in Section 8.3 of
>    [RFC4960].
> 
> This also prevents sending SCTP_ADDR_UNREACHABLE to the user as the state
> bounces between SCTP_INACTIVE and SCTP_PF for each subsequent strike.
