Hi everyone,

I need to use ext_select() on a seqpacket sctp socket.

Using sctplib-1.0.1 and socketapi-1.3.1, I am unable to
receive pending data (the remote sctp server socket effectively
send the data, as shown by a running sniffer - tcpdump 3.7.2 using
libpcap 0.7.2 - ).

- All attempt to ext_select() a seqpacket sctp client socket leads
to a blocking select, which does not wake up even if input data
is provided to the sctp client socket.

- An interresting trace of the network traffic is this :

where you can identify the answer packet (the one with html tags in the data)
from the server (bound on machine 192.168.1.99:2222), followed by a shutdown
of the connection, for an unknown reason (I commented all close() in the
client / server program to make sure that no unrequested close() is done and
the behavior stays the same). Note that the request packet was not included
in this dump since the answer is correct, but the application layer is not
informed of the answer.


Is there any issue with ext_select on seqpacket sctp socket ?
Is it a known bug, or is there another common way to do that
for this kind of socket ? Is there an issue with checksums for
dgram sctp sockets ?

Thanks.
