IV39340: INITACK CAN CONTAIN LOCAL HOST ADDRESS WHEN IT SHOULD NOT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The symptom is a client using SCTP may attempt to fail
  over
  to the local server when the remote server goes down.
  This
  is due to the INITACK message claiming that the local
  host
  can be used which is done by adding 127.0.0.1 to the list
  of addresses in the INITACK message.
  
  The detailed symptom is to capture the INITACK message
  from
  the server and examine it.  It will have the local host
  in it when it should not.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• SCTP connection from a remote host will fail, when there is
  already one sctp connection exists(server/client on the same
  host) in the local host.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This APAR is being closed FIN. This means that a solution to
  this APAR is expected to be delivered from IBM in a release
