This discussion is of particular interest to me. I may be trying to do
things the hard way. Your comments would be most appreciated.

In my application, I have a deamon that generates messages to be sent via
SCTP. I am designing a multiple-ULP-to-SCTP interface using the following
Helper Functions:

sctp_registerUdpCallback
sctp_unregisterUdpCallback
sctp_sendUdpData

and by implementing a message structure that will allow my SCTP daemon (that
links sctplib) to keep track of the different ULP associations and streams.
My ULPs will send UDP messages that are SCTP destined to 127.0.0.48 at port
50004, for example, which are registered with sctp_registerUdpCallback.

I would like to press ahead with my application. On the other hand, it
sounds like the sctplib group is implementing what will probably be a better
method.

Can you comment on my approach versus the SCTP protocol engine separation
approach that you describe? Are you able to predict when sctplib with this
feature will be available?

Thanks again,
Mike Mueller
