RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

*ss* now supports SCTP sockets list Previously, the *netstat* utility provided a list of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) sockets. With this update, the *ss* utility is able to display the same list.

Description Hubert Kario 2014-02-11 16:21:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
When there's a sctp server running on system, `ss` doesn't list it in its output.
Trying to specify `sctp` protocol explicitly also fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iproute-3.10.0-11.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe sctp; yum install -y lksctp-tools
2. sctp_darn -H 0 -P 2500 -l
3. ss -an | grep 2500

4. ss -n -A sctp

Actual results:
*no output*

and for 4.:
ss: "sctp" is illegal socket table id

Expected results:
Infor about server running on port 2500

Additional info:
# netstat -na | grep 2500
sctp                0.0.0.0:2500                                    LISTEN
Comment 1 Petr Šabata 2014-02-18 14:10:50 UTC 
`ss' currently doesn't support SCTP at all.  Marking as FutureFeature.
Comment 5 Petr Šabata 2014-07-23 10:08:36 UTC 
There's a usable procfs interface.  Requesting devel ack.
Comment 16 Phil Sutter 2016-01-21 15:59:22 UTC 
Discussion regarding sctp_diag kernel interface has started already, so it should be possible to accomplish this for RHEL7.3.
Comment 21 Phil Sutter 2016-07-29 22:30:52 UTC 
Patch series implementing sctp_diag support in 'ss' has been sent upstream:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=146983127501267&w=2

Please note though that it requires a few kernel changes for full functionality, tracked in Bug 1361728.
Comment 22 Phil Sutter 2016-09-05 20:13:13 UTC 
Sadly, upstream has not accepted the submitted patch yet, which is why this ticket was left untouched for so long. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to import a large change like this one at this point, especially since it didn't see any upstream testing at all yet.
Comment 24 Phil Sutter 2016-12-02 07:46:40 UTC 
Finally, upstream accepted my patches:

    ss: Add support for SCTP protocol
    
    This makes use of the sctp_diag interface recently added to the kernel.
    
    Joint work with Xin Long who provided the PoC implementation which I
    merely polished up a bit.

Comment 27 Jaroslav Aster 2017-03-06 12:53:51 UTC 
Hi Phil,

I found one, simple, documentation issue. There is no mention about sctp in -A option in ss man-page and ss help, where all socket types are listed. I think, it should be there. Would be possible to fix it?

Good catch, thanks! I've quickly prepared a patch for upstream and submitted
it:

Thanks, Phil

Comment 35 Christian Kujau 2018-06-11 18:07:14 UTC 
Arrived here because of bug 1544898 ("ss indiscriminately loads sctp kernel modules") - does anyone know why the latter is locked?
