Description : stable userland implementation of the SCTP protocol RFC 2960
This is the stable userland implementation of the SCTP protocol (RFC
2960). It is based on the author's sctplib 1.0.x, the stable sctplib
The sctplib library is a fairly complete prototype implementation of the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a message-oriented reliable
transport protocol that supports multi-homing, and multiple message
streams multiplexed within an SCTP connection (also named association).
SCTP is described in RFC 2960, RFC 3309 and RFC 3286. This
implementation is the product of a cooperation between Siemens AG (ICN),
Munich, Germany and the Computer Networking Technology Group at the IEM
of the University of Essen, Germany. See http://www.sctp.de/ for details.
The API of the library was modeled after section 10 of RFC 2960, and
most parameters and functions should be self-explanatory to the user
familiar with this document. In addition to these interface functions
between an Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) and an SCTP instance, the library
also provides a number of helper functions that can be used to manage
callback function routines to make them execute at a certain point of
time (i.e. timer-based) or open and bind UDP sockets on a configurable
port, which may then be used for an asynchronous interprocess
communication.
