Hi Michael,

I have been fighting to get the above two sets of demo code to work for a
while now, but with limited success..

Both program runs, but there seems to generate some output that doesn't make
sense to me, especially on the client side. For example, the client seems to
receive SCTP messages it sent out to the server, and turns around and try to
parse the message, but discovers that the destination port number is not
registered, and the packet is dropped...

I read through the demo section of the SCTP manual that was distributed with
the library. But there was very limited documentation on how these demo
program should be used, whether or not the behaviour described above are
normal. I have been stepping through the source code (into the library code)
attempting to figure out the proper way of running these demo programs...
(remote port, local port, remote server IP, local server IP, etc)

My question/recommendation is, maybe in the manual, add a section to
describe to the user how to use the program, and what is the appropriate
behaviour of the demo programs, so that newbies like me can get a quick head
start... (I'm sure there are something that I've missed, and once they are
pointed out, it will be smooth sailing from then on, but for now, I'm kinda
stuck... :(...)

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,
Yiwen
