+
+addip_enable - BOOLEAN
+        Enable or disable extension of  Dynamic Address Reconfiguration
+        (ADD-IP) functionality specified in RFC5061.  This extension provides
+        the ability to dynamically add and remove new addresses for the SCTP
+        associations.
+
+        1: Enable extension.
+
+        0: Disable extension.
+
+        Default: 0
+
+addip_noauth_enable - BOOLEAN
+        Dynamic Address Reconfiguration (ADD-IP) requires the use of
+        authentication to protect the operations of adding or removing new
+        addresses.  This requirement is mandated so that unauthorized hosts
+        would not be able to hijack associations.  However, older
+        implementations may not have implemented this requirement while
+        allowing the ADD-IP extension.  For reasons of interoperability,
+        we provide this variable to control the enforcement of the
+        authentication requirement.
+
+        1: Allow ADD-IP extension to be used without authentication.  This
+           should only be set in a closed environment for interoperability
+           with older implementations.

+
+auth_enable - BOOLEAN

+
+max_burst - INTEGER
+        The limit of the number of new packets that can be initially sent.  It
+        controls how bursty the generated traffic can be.
+
+        Default: 4
+
+association_max_retrans - INTEGER
+        Set the maximum number for retransmissions that an association can
+        attempt deciding that the remote end is unreachable.  If this value
+        is exceeded, the association is terminated.
+
+        Default: 10
+
+max_init_retransmits - INTEGER
+        The maximum number of retransmissions of INIT and COOKIE-ECHO chunks
+        that an association will attempt before declaring the destination
+        unreachable and terminating.
+
+        Default: 8
+
+path_max_retrans - INTEGER
+        The maximum number of retransmissions that will be attempted on a given

+        unreachable, and new traffic will use a different path when the
+        association is multihomed.

+        The maximum value (in milliseconds) of the round trip timeout.  This

+
+rcvbuf_policy - INTEGER
+        Determines if the receive buffer is attributed to the socket or to
+        association.   SCTP supports the capability to create multiple
+        associations on a single socket.  When using this capability, it is
+        possible that a single stalled association that's buffering a lot
+        of data may block other associations from delivering their data by
+        consuming all of the receive buffer space.  To work around this,
+        the rcvbuf_policy could be set to attribute the receiver buffer space
+        to each association instead of the socket.  This prevents the described
+        blocking.
+
+        1: rcvbuf space is per association
+        0: recbuf space is per socket
+
+        Default: 0

+sctp_mem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, pressure, max
+        Number of pages allowed for queueing by all SCTP sockets.
+
+        min: Below this number of pages SCTP is not bothered about its

+        this number, SCTP starts to moderate memory usage.
+
+        pressure: This value was introduced to follow format of tcp_mem.
+
