Hi

Is it possible to send a data stream over two connection in the same
association?

I do not know what you mean by connection. You can send user data
in multiple SCTP streams within one association.
Does SCTP manage the load balancing if an SCTP association uses more then
one interface on the same host?
No. Currently SCTP uses multiple paths for fault tolerance, not for
load sharing.

If there is a load balancing: Is there a possibilty to influence the load
balancing?
What you can always do is to specify with each sendcall which path to use.

Can I (or an application) set preferences about which interface I would like
SCTP to use if there are several available?
You can set the path towards the peer. The ADDIP extensions provides a way
to indicate to the peer which path the peer should use (SET_PRIMARY).

Thanks for some answers
You are welcome.

Thomas Heynen
