SCTP not usable even after installing lksctp-tools

sa flag

I am running Red hat version 8. I installed lksctp-tools and checksctp returns "Protocol not supported"

I tried installing kernel-modules-extra as well. No luck. Restarted the server every time I installed these and checked.

Found these documents which say SCTP should be blocked and disabled in linux unless needed. Says must disable SCTP Says must block SCTP even if its installed.

I un-blocked it by commenting out the sctp_blacklist.conf, no luck. (Rebooted and tried.) I enabled ipv6, tested, restarted and re-tested. Still checksctp gives the same issue.

modprobe gives no error but module is not getting loaded.

Does anyone know how to get SCTP enabled in this RHEL 8 server?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
