Dear Marjan,

Welcome to thhe SCTP crowd! Now that you've got the SCTP library
installed, you have to get some application on top of the SCTP
transport layer running. There are a number of simple applications
included, maybe start with something *very* basic like the terminal
(sends what you type to the other side) on one side and the discard
server (just throws away what it receives) on the other. How
to run the terminal and other applications should be included in the
documentation by now, if you have problems, check the archive of this
mailing list, since a number of (slight) pitfalls have already cropped
up a number of times. Just a couple of things I remember without
checking: all applications have to be run as root (from the point of
view of the operating system, you're using raw IP for communication),
each source address has to be specified individually

(meaning -s 192.168.1.2 -s 192.168.2.2 in the command line)

and only one destination address should be specified (the destination
will exchange addresses when setting up the communication).

Hope this helps,

Chris
