Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v2 3/3] sctp: Add a valid address list in association local

Hi, 

I implemented that functionality for following situations.  
1. Suppose two associations A and B directed to different destination that belong to the same endpoint.  (one-to-many socket).  
2. After the address addition event, A and B will send an ASCONF.  
3. Suppose only A receives ASCONF-ACK, and B has not received one yet.  
4. In this moment, A can use the new address as the source address for regular chunk, but B can't.  
5. But I think both A and B use the new address even after only A receives ASCONF-ACK  in current SCTP implementation,
This patch achieves that only A uses that new address in this moment.  

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
- Michio
