Just to be clear:

What I meant was that the combination of the sctplib
with the socketapilib might not be very good for
performance measurements. You can do it with the
sctplib only.

The reason is that the socketapilib use threads...

Best regards

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

Just a general point: the sctplib in combination is
not very well suite for performance measurements, because
the is thread scheduling involved. So I would recommend to
use the sctplib only or use a kernel implementation.
I'll post a program which you could use during the next
week (when the SCTP Interop happens).

Best regards

Hi SCTP community,
I'm running sctplib-1.0.1 and socketapi-1.3.1 in Redhat 9.0
Now I would like to measure the performance of SCTP vs TCP, how to do
that?
The measure program should work for both of SCTP and TCP.
I found out there was a program called iperf, however, this program
seems only work for TCP and LKSCTP.
 
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Le Vinh Dat
