[Tuexen Michael] We do support multiple SCTP processes
on a host with disjoint sets of IP-addresses. But keep in
mind you have to set up the IP forwarding correctly which
may be difficult on Linux.


[Woon Chiat] I don't quite understand the above. How does IP forwarding
comes into the picture? Maybe i need to clarify a bit here:
What I need to do is to have a single process with multiple instances, each
monitoring the same set of source IP addresses but different source ports.
Is this possible? There is doubt here as you mentioned 'disjoint sets of
IP-addresses' as oppose to 'disjoint local transport addresses' which i take
to include port numbers.



Thanks.
