Vijay:

First a word of advice and then a response..

Please turn off HTML type mail encoding.. it is very very
hard for many to read/reply to html encoded messages.
Even netscape (which I use) core dumps when I do a reply-all...
Something to do with the Font or other specification I guess.

Your question, is how does one get a COMMUNICATION_UP notification
in a SCTP association..

Bascially the detection of a restoral of a destination is
performed by the HeartBeat mechanism. If you look at the
section on HB you will see that no matter if the destination
address is UP or DOWN you still send a HB to it. This makes
the HB a "probe" for reachability. After a failure, when the
HB receives a reply... then the COMM-UP notification is
given..

I would invite you to download the SCTP reference implementation
at:

http://www.sctp.org

and on two multi-homed machines, start the test process and
setup an assocaition... then break one of the lan's interconnecting
the two boxes.. in a bit (HB is setup to a bit of a delay :>) you
should see a COMM-LOST notification... Then if you reconnect
the lan... you should see (after a couple of minutes) a COMM-UP
notification...

Enjoy..
