When running tneat as a server on Linux as follows:

$ ./tneat -P prop_sctp.json

and connecting to this server with tneat on FreeBSD as follows:

$ ./tneat -P prop_sctp.json <IP address>

on_connected is never called on the client side on FreeBSD. However, this works when both machines are running Linux. This also works when e.g. TCP is used, so the problem seems to be related to how NEAT handles SCTP and how it is handled differently on Linux and FreeBSD.

The Linux machine ran Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.13.0-32-generic. The FreeBSD machine ran FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE r321309.

The problem also occurs when trying to connect from FreeBSD to FreeBSD.

I ran socat at both sides to check whether SCTP works, but it doesn't. It seems like the problem is with the SCTP implementation and not with NEAT.

Can you capture the traffic on the FreeBSD box on all interfaces and provide the capture file? The connect() call returns with an error indicating "Connection reset by peer". So I guess we'll see an ABORT chunk. Not sure which box is sending it and why. Most likely suspect: a middlebox...

Are those real machines or VMs? If VMs: which adapter type do you use?

The machines are VMs. Both machines has a NAT adapter and an Internal Network adapter.

Data captured on the FreeBSD internal network interface (em1):

Data captured on the FreeBSD loopback interface (lo0):

23:12:57.479029 IP 192.168.20.40.38101 > 10.0.2.15.12327: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
23:12:57.479071 IP 10.0.2.15.12327 > 192.168.20.40.38101: sctp (1) [ABORT]

The ABORT is captured on the loopback interface sent from the NAT service. When disabling the NAT adapter, SCTP works properly. I don't understand why the connection should fail even though the 4-way handshake has completed between the endpoints though... Or how to get SCTP to work when the NAT interface is enabled. I tried to specify only the internal network IP with the local_ips property, but still the same problem.

If you specify the local IP addresses on both sides, it should work. There should be not address parameters in the INIT or INIT-ACK chunk. We can chat in Oslo about why it doesn't work with NAT boxes being involved...

Ah, that makes sense. I noticed that there are address parameters in the INIT and INIT-ACK chunks, so I attempted to connect the socat client to a NEAT server with the NEAT_TAG_LOCAL_NAME optional argument set to the local IP address and it works! However, when I attempt to connect a NEAT client to the same server, the SCTP association is established, but on_connected is not called for the client.
