Subject: [Tsvwg] 3rd SCTP bakeoff

Dear all,

during this week the 3rd SCTP bakeoff is happening. It is hosted by
ETSI in Sofia Antipolis, France.

19 companies and 34 participants showed up and are testing their 
SCTP implementations.

The testing is going very well and almost all features of SCTP are
being tested. The only one not tested is the hostname in the INIT.
Some implementations claim that they can process it but no implementation
is sending it.

The testnetwork runs IPv4 and IPv6. So SCTP/IPv6 is tested the first time
at a bakeoff. The only issue with the RFC found until now is the handling
of IPv6 addresses in the INIT and INIT-ACK. The questions which have
to be answered are for example: 

- What to do with site local addresses when the INIT come from a global one?
- What to do with a link local address?
- When do you send various types of address formats in v6?

There are more situations, but these are just a few...

There will be a ID describing two solutions we discussed at the bakeoff
and this can be used as a basis for a discussion.

Best regards and happy SCTPing
