Have a look at the implementation of sctp_select_active_and_retran_path() and sctp_assoc_choose_alter_transport() with sctp_assoc_update_retran_path(). Make sure you use a latest 3.17 rcX as it contains the latest changes to it (which you will find with some more explanation in the git log under net/sctp/). > - I guess that SCTP has some variable holding the estimated RTT on > each path (also used for calculating RTO).
