You would be interested in have a timeout to don't send info out of time, but also have a max number of retransmits to don't waste bandwidth and try another source. The source would apply the PR-SCTP policy, right? How does the source know that messages are abandoned? The socket API for SCTP can provide this information, but how do you know this in the JS API. Any idea? Who would change another source, since it can't be the source. Currently SCTP uses an enumeration of policies. To do the above, we would need to extend it to handle logical ands and ors of policies. That would required some changes to https://tools.ietf.org/search/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctp-prpolicies-00 What do others think?
