Hi,

I tried what you advised, and made a little bit of headway. There is a little bit of change to what's running on the client now, but server is still initialising with 1 in and 1 out stream.

I've put the entire chunk of code setting the parameters of struct sctp_initmsg and putting in the ext_setsockoption() just after ext_bind(), before ext_listen(), but it's still the same. Is there anything else that I can try?

Thanks a lot... :)

Have you used the SCTP_INITMSG socket option before calling accept() on the
server side? When accept() returns, the SCTP association is already
established with the current in/out streams settings. Therefore, setting
SCTP_INITMSG has no effect after accept(). Recommendation: Set SCTP_INITMSG
directly after binding the socket using ext_bind() or ext_bindx().

User data and control structures are separated in the msghdr structure:
msg_iov for user data and msg_control for control structures. To send your
string, you have to specifiy it in msg_iov, not in the control part (cmsg
above)!
Example:
struct iovec iov[1];
struct msghdr msg;
...
echoString = This is to be sent";
iov[0].iov_base = echoString;
iov[0].iov_len = strlen(echoString); <- Length of string
msg.msg_iov = &iov;
msg.msg_iovlen = 1; <- One entry in iovec array!
