Hi,

As written in the draft, a UDP-style SCTP socket doesn't really work like UDP because it's connection-oriented, but I think the line is a bit blur here. I created a UDP-style socket on a server machine and after the other necessary steps like bind() and so on, I continuosly pass some data to the sendto() function to send to a client machine.

From the screen, I see that sendto() is continuosly called with no error messages appearing. If I'm to give the server a client IP to send data to, will it just start sending once sendto() is called (even when the client is down), or it needs the client to be running and the 2 machines perform the 4-way setup before any data can be transferred?

Secondly, since only TCP-style socket support SO_SNDBUF, can you recommend an alternative method to obtain the same effect of using SO_SNDBUF with an UDP-style socket?

Thank you!!



Oon, Heok Kee
