    RFC3873 defined SCTP_MIB_OUTOFBLUES:
    
     sctpOutOfBlues OBJECT-TYPE
       SYNTAX         Counter32
       MAX-ACCESS     read-only
       STATUS         current
       DESCRIPTION
            "The number of out of the blue packets received by the host.
            An out of the blue packet is an SCTP packet correctly formed,
            including the proper checksum, but for which the receiver was
            unable to identify an appropriate association."
       REFERENCE
            "Section 8.4 in RFC2960 deals with the Out-Of-The-Blue
             (OOTB) packet definition and procedures."
    
    But OOTB packet INIT, INIT-ACK and SHUTDOWN-ACK(COOKIE-WAIT or
    COOKIE-ECHOED state) are not counted by SCTP_MIB_OUTOFBLUES.
    
    Case 1(INIT):
    
    Endpoint A               Endpoint B
    (CLOSED)                 (CLOSED)
    
     INIT     ---------->
              <----------    ABORT
    
    Case 2(INIT-ACK):
    
    Endpoint A               Endpoint B
    (CLOSED)                 (CLOSED)
    
     INIT-ACK  ---------->
               <----------   ABORT
    
    Case 3(SHUTDOWN-ACK):
    
    Endpoint A               Endpoint B
    (CLOSED)                 (CLOSED)
    
              <----------    INIT
     SHUTDOWN-ACK  ---------->
               <----------   SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE
    
    Case 4(SHUTDOWN-ACK):
    
    Endpoint A               Endpoint B
    (CLOSED)                 (COOKIE-ECHOED)
    
     SHUTDOWN-ACK  ---------->
               <----------   SHUTDOWN-COMPLETE
    
    This patch fixed the problem.
