All,

just as a side note: the performance of sctplib by itself
is not so bad, and it easily allows saturating a 100 MBit/s
link. The performance issues come into play for instance if
you have a large number of associations on a server
(in sctplib-1.0).

This should not be a major problem in the new version
sctplib-1.3, as it uses hash structures in the sctpd daemon
to locate matches for associations when processing incoming
SCTP packets, which - even with many associations - is way more
efficient.

Best regards,
Andreas
