DATA chunks with an invalid length

Hello Everyone

I wonder if you would be able to help me regarding a question I have
about SCTP.

How should SCTP DATA chunks should be handled if the chunk length is
incorrectly set by the sender? Would I be right in thinking that these
chunks should be acknowledged and silently discarded or should they be
identified as gaps when sending a SACK in response? 

If anyone can help with this I would be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks and Kind Regards

Ian Horsham
