Hi Team,
Is there a plan to upgrade the linux SCTP kernel module to be
compliant to RFC 4960?
Right now, it is compliant to RFC 2960.

Thanks,
Sonia

Hi Sonia,
There are several references to old RFCs throughout the code, just
because they weren't updated to the newer versions. But in regards to
your question, Linux SCTP kernel code is compliant to RFC4960 already.
If you notice anything particular missing, it's a bug. :-)
Thanks,
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,
We are using Ubuntu 18.04 with the following kernel version.
esi14-vm-23u:~$ uname -r
5.0.0-23-generic
Just to confirm, the modinfo sctp shows the following:
esi14-vm-23u:~$ modinfo sctp
filename: /lib/modules/5.0.0-23-generic/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko
license: GPL
description: Support for the SCTP protocol (RFC2960)
author: Linux Kernel SCTP developers <linux-sctp@vger.kernel.org>
alias: net-pf-10-proto-132
alias: net-pf-2-proto-132
srcversion: 5CD1A15EE663D4E98EAC641
depends: libcrc32c
retpoline: Y
intree: Y
name: sctp
vermagic: 5.0.0-23-generic SMP mod_unload
signat: PKCS#7
signer:
sig_key:
sig_hashalgo: md4
parm: no_checksums:Disable checksums computing and verification (bool)
Kindly confirm that this is compliant to 4960 already. If that is the
case, then it would be great if atleast the description in modinfo
shows 4960.
Regards,
Sonia
