La Monte, you are correct in every detail except your verb tense: a more
accurate statement would be
"There WAS an server process available as part of the sctp.de
implementation, which will let you use multiple processes with that
implementation, up through version 18."
As it turns out, that process, called the SCTP Daemon (executable "sctpd")
was removed in version 19, and is no longer supported. (as I understand it
because of lack of available personnel to do the necessary maintenance
programming.)
Thus, if you want to use the sctpd, you have to stay with version 18, and you
do not get the benefit of subsequent bug fixes. You also don't get any
support for the socket API.
A M.S. student at Temple University who is working on a semester project
under my supervision to do the necessary programming to restore this feature
in the current version, and also link it to the socket API code. If this
project is successful, we will release this code, and try to provide some
ongoing maintenance to track future versions of the www.sctp.de sctplib
releases. But for now, that feature is deprecated.
Cheers,
Phill
