But, according to our testing, SCTP protocol is still considered experimental, since not all aspects are working correctly and it is not full tested. e.g. SCTP connection channel switch needs about 5mins hang in case one connection(ring) is broken. Then, I suggest to add a kernel print, which prompts the user SCTP protocol for DLM should be considered experimental, it is not recommended in production environment.
