Hi Vaishali,

the sctplib uses a call back API which is similar to
the one described in RFC 2960. This is a proprietary
API used only in our implementation. Other user land
implementations use a different API.

A socket API is described in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-05.txt
which is implemented in the socketapi library.

The socketapi library uses the sctplib. The sctplib uses a raw
socket. But the user of the sctplib or the socketapi does not
use it directly.

Please have a look at the included example programs.

Best regards
Michael

Hi,

I am new to SCTP world and has a question about
sctplib and sctp scoket API interface. Is it that sctp
uses raw packets (work on IP) to send sctp packets but
socket API interface uses UDP/TCP to send the packets
and does not use RAW paclets? I thought this as in
ext_socket.h file, ext_socket maps to os
"socket"function of socket library (not sctplib). Am i
right? If not could anyone tell me where are these
sctp related socket functions?
