Dear all,

I just forward a hint of Joel Wagner (developer at SOLARIS-kernel) and
Juergen Luckas (diveloper at NUCLEUS), which I will post here:

(Both want to replace the sctp-internal timer-service from adaptation.c by
OS-supported timerservice.)

a)[Joel] The Solaris kernel timer primitives only support 1 user defined
pointer, not the 2 that you request. Is it possible that the generic SCTP
could be modified to get by with just 1 pointer? It would be good to check
what VxWorks, MBDE's operating environment, and maybe Linux provide. If
other environments only provide 1 user defined pointer then it might be
best to change the generic to be less demanding of the operating
environment.

>[Juergen] hi guys,
the operating system nucleus supports one user defined
parameter.
This timer ID is a parameter unsigned int (4 bytes). I think it can be used
as one pointer, too.

b)[Joel]Can the requirement for the adaptation layer to support a "restart
timer" be removed? The generic SCTP can achieve a restart by issuing a
"stop timer" followed by a "start timer".



Viele Gruesse
Wolfgang
