Hi Greg,

if you want to write an userland implementation you must be able to
send SCTP packet. On a Unix system the socket API is used and requires
root privileges for accessing the raw socket.

You can work around this only by modifying your kernel or using
an OS without different privileges (I'm not if I would call this
an OS...).

Best regards
Michael

Hello,

 

I’m looking for a user level implementation of SCTP that does not need root access at any point during installation or use. I was hoping you could clarify whether this implementation fits the description (if not, then are there any other options I could investigate?). I tried using this implementation but it complained about needing root access when I run an application. Is this because it uses raw sockets?

 

Thanks,

Greg
