Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v4 4/5] sctp: Add ASCONF operation on the single-homed host

Hi, 

Such operation would not be supported by specification, in Sec.5.3 in RFC 5061:
   F1)  When adding an IP address to an association, the IP address is
        NOT considered fully added to the association until the ASCONF-
        ACK arrives.  This means that until such time as the ASCONF
        containing the add is acknowledged, the sender MUST NOT use the
        new IP address as a source for ANY SCTP packet except on
        carrying an ASCONF Chunk. 

I think this means we cannot send ASCONF-ACK from the new address even if it bundles ASCONF...
