Hello Torbjörn,

indeed only the sctplib/socketapi is currently under active development.
Actually I would recommend you use the socketapi interface, as that will
start to appear in most major Unixes, like FreeBSD (Randy Stewart has a patch
for that), Linux (lksctp at sourceforge), Solaris and HP-UX, AIX and others,
so you will not need to rewrite your programs...on the other hand, if you use
the sctplib with the interface described in the file <sctp.h>, you might
have to adapt to slight API changes/additions over the next releases.
And you are probably limited to a single-threaded process, although
other things might work too...

I hope to have the SCTPLIB mostly feature complete within the next 2-3
months, and will then concentrate on stabilizing it. At that time,
we might have a student of ours working on the sctpd.

Folks: help on this would be very welcome, as I do not have time to
actively maintain the sctpd-part, other than make sure it compiles.
If you have any patches that i can apply cleanly to the latest release,
please consider contributing to the distribution. Thank you !

Best regards,
Andreas
