Hi Andreas,

the SCTP KAME stack can be compiled as a NKE. Going to Mac OS X 10.4.1 requires a substantial
change in the code to get it running with the multithreaded kernel of Mac OS X 10.4.?.
This change is not completed but I can compile and load kernel extension. So it will work
on Mac OS X 10.4.1.

My plan is to provide an installer for
- a modified kernel to allow SCTP NKEs (unfortunately this is still required, but this
kernel is as stable as the original Apple one).
- the SCTP NKE, include files and a library.

It is nice to know that someone is interested, so I'll let you know when we have something
which can be used and tested. Is anyone else also interested?

Best regards
Michael

Hi,

I'm using userland sctplib currently to implement various protocol stacks on top of SCTP. So far this worked.
I now tried to go for kernel level (socket api). I once tried that a while ago but I couldn't find any notes anymore anywhere on the site on how to do that (the notes had a step by step explanation on how to get a darwin kernel compiled and installed). I was wondering if its not possible to do it as a kext so not the whole kernel would have to be recompiled every time MacOS X comes out with a new minor revision of the kernel.
