Dear all,

we have a future requirement to handle 12000! associations at one machine.

So I thought about the search algorithm to get the data related to a single
association, which is necessary for the most function calls between ULP and
SCTP.

But at the interface SCTP <> ULP any searching could be avoided if there is a
possibility to define an association via address.


Idea:
The function sctp_associate returns the address of the
SCTP-association-data-structure.
A new parameter announces the ULP-association-data-structure to sctp, e.g.:

void *sctp_associate ( ...
..., void *ULP_association)

For all API-functions the associationID can be replaced by the pointer to the
association of the called layer.


Would this be a way to go for?

Viele Grüße
Wolfgang Schrüfer
