Hi,

 

Thanks for the replies. I plan to use the latest version of lksctp (2.6.13). There is another thing that I want to know. When I installed the new kernel version 2.6, and booted to it, I was able to load the sctp module even without installing lksctp. Does that mean that sctp is now part of the kernel and I do not need lksctp, or does it mean that the kernel has sctp support and I need to install lksctp to actually communicate using sctp sockets?

 

Kindly let me know.

 

Regards,

farhan

Yes, it is possible. You need a bootloader like grub or lilo to select a
kernel at boot time, of course. But I am not sure if the lksctp
implementation for kernel 2.4 is in a usable state, since I assume it to be
quite old.

You have to unload the module with "rmmod -f sctp". -f forces unloading. Note,
that this may crash your maschine.
