SCTP-PF was implemented based on a Internet-Draft in 2012:

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05

It's been updated quite a few by rfc7829 in 2016.

This patchset adds the following features:

  1. add SCTP_ADDR_POTENTIALLY_FAILED notification
  2. add pf_expose per netns/sock/asoc
  3. add SCTP_EXPOSE_POTENTIALLY_FAILED_STATE sockopt
  4. add ps_retrans per netns/sock/asoc/transport
     (Primary Path Switchover)
  5. add spt_pathcpthld for SCTP_PEER_ADDR_THLDS sockopt

I would like to see some SCTP expert ACKs here.

I'm only an SCTP user, but I think some of the API changes aren't right.
I'm not going to try to grok the sctp code - it makes my brain hurt.
(Even though I've written plenty of protocol stack code.)
