Hello All,
SCTP RFC 4690 has mentioned a parameter HB.Max.Burst.
As per RFC 4960 section 4.5 :
The number of HEARTBEATS sent at each RTO SHOULD be limited by the
HB.Max.Burst parameter.
During the Path verification when an RTO expires, SCTP will re-send the Heartbeat to that address.
Please clarify me, how HB.Max.Burst parameter will control the number of Heartbeat sent to that address.
Shouldn't the number of Heartbeat send to a particular address at any time will always be 1?
If Yes, then why HB.Max.Burst is required?
If No, then please make me understand that how this parameter is used.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashwani Kathuria
