The state transition is described in rfc8899#section-5.2,
PROBE_COUNT == MAX_PROBES means the probe fails for MAX times, and the
state transition includes:
- Base -> Error, occurs when BASE_PLPMTU Confirmation Fails,
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_MIN_PLPMTU,
probe_size is still SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
- Search -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected,
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
- Search Complete -> Base, occurs when Black Hole Detected
pl.pmtu is set to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU,
probe_size is set back to SCTP_BASE_PLPMTU;
Note a black hole is encountered when a sender is unaware that packets
are not being delivered to the destination endpoint. So it includes the
probe failures with equal probe_size to pl.pmtu, and definitely not
include that with greater probe_size than pl.pmtu. The later one is the
normal probe failure where probe_size should decrease back to pl.pmtu
and pl.probe_high is set. pl.probe_high would be used on HB ACK recv
path in the next patch.
