No there is no problem with that but I only know the BSD stuff. So
Andreas or Thomas have to tell you if you can really set the
raw IP stuff to some MB, which I doubt.

Did you check the return value of the system call which you used to
increase the buffer size?

Best regards

Hi,

I'm using RedHat 7.3. Do you know of any problem with it?

What OS are you using? I have doubts that you can set on BSD
your Buffer to something in the MB range, at least without
recompiling the kernel.

Hi,

So I guess in adaptation.c, what we're modifying is the raw IP socket buffer, and in distribution.c, we're modifying SCTP's announced receiver buffer?

And I tried setting myRWND = (1MB - 1) in distribution.c, and ch = (2MB - 1) in adl_setReceiveBufferSize(). I then ran make and make install again, but in the captures on ethereal, I still see the advertised window to be 32767.

Could there be any other files that I need to modify? Thanks a lot!

Dear all,

please note that there are two values:
- The one SCTP uses to announce the receiver window.
- The size of the 'real' receive buffer, which is the
receive buffer size for raw IP packets managed at system
level.

On BSD we read that system variable and use half of that. To increase
the receive buffer on a BSD system you can use as root in a shell
sysctl -w net.inet.raw.recvspace=40000
or so. If you start the sctplib after that it makes use of the larger
buffer.

If you just modify the value announced by SCTP and that is larger than
the raw IP receive buffer you will experience heavy packet loss, of course.
This will result in worse SCTP performance.

Best regards
Michael

Hi!

Does anyone have any idea what's the default receiver buffer size?

See the file adaptation.c, function adl_open_sctp_socket(),
around lines 674. It is read by a getsockopt() function.
YMMV.

Is there any way to change it (even modifying the stack itself is fine
with me)? If there is, what do I need to change?

See the file adaptation.c, function adl_set_receiveBufferSize(),
around lines 403. It uses a setsockopt() function.
YMMV (as it depends on the OS used, and maybe other things).

I'm trying to stream video using SCTP but I see that the default
receiver buffer 32768 bytes, which is far too small, so I need to increase
it.

Since that only changes the Raw IP Layer socket buffers, you also
need to modify the file distribution.c, around line 1784, where it
says:
sctpInstance->default_myRwnd = myRWND/2;
and set it there to a useful value.

Please note however, that we found out that with a too large buffer
announced and a high speed network, the (RAW IP socket) buffer will
overflow, and you will see strange packet losses.

Hope that helps,

Andreas

P.S.: Please let me know of the results of your tests as that is
very interesting for me to know.
