What about the kernel implementation from http://www.sctp.refcode.org/ ? Is

[Tuexen Michael] It is developed independently from us by some nice
guys from Motorola. It uses some part of Randy's reference implementation.

I would like to do that... I only started working on Diameter a week ago!-(

[Tuexen Michael] You do not need all the deatails of an
SCTP implementation, but you should know the features of SCTP.
Lyndon Ong wrote a nice ID for that. Look at www.sctp.de to find
the URL. The API of SCTP is also still under discussion. We do
not use a socket like API, but a similiar API as discussed in RFC
2960.

Thanks for the response! I'll have an eye out for the new release!

[Tuexen Michael] That is nice, Thanks.
