I've seen several attempts recently made to do quick failover of sctp transports
by reducing various retransmit timers and counters. While its possible to
implement a faster failover on multihomed sctp associations, its not
particularly robust, in that it can lead to unneeded retransmits, as well as
false connection failures due to intermittent latency on a network.
Instead, lets implement the new ietf quick failover draft found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05
This will let the sctp stack identify transports that have had a small number of
errors, and avoid using them quickly until their reliability can be
re-established. I've tested this out on two virt guests connected via multiple
isolated virt networks and believe its in compliance with the above draft and
works well.

Default: 5
+pf_retrans - INTEGER
+ The number of retransmissions that will be attempted on a given path
+ before traffic is redirected to an alternate transport (should one
+ exist). Note this is distinct from path_max_retrans, as a path that
+ passes the pf_retrans threshold can still be used. Its only
+ deprioritized when a transmission path is selected by the stack. This
+ setting is primarily used to enable fast failover mechanisms without
+ having to reduce path_max_retrans to a very low value. See:
+ http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05.txt
