Description Steven Friedman 2008-05-07 13:49:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
The results of 'netstat -an' show incorrect results for sctp connections.  I am
presuming that this is a bug in how lksctp sets the variables and not netstat in
reading the variables.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lksctp-tools-1.0.6-1.el5.1
net-tools-1.60-73


How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a one-to-one client sctp socket.
2. Type 'netstat -an'
3. Output shows faulty Recv-Q, Send-Q and IP addresses.
  
Actual results:
sctp   63488      1 0.0.128.0:17503         255.255.255.255:9877    ESTABLISHED


Expected results:
Correct values for all of the columns.

Hello,
it doesn't seem that it is a bug in lksctp, because lksctp uses standard bind(2)
function. Further, if you enable a debug mode, then every address is printed
correctly. So, it seems that the bug is either in netstat (net-tools) or in kernel.

Adding the maintainer of net-tools, so he can add his opinion.

This is not a bug in lksctp-tools, but in netstat.
Reassigning to right component.
