Hi,

I have experimented with the sctplib-1.3.1 as well as the lksctp-2.6.13 sctp implementations. I know that one is user space implementation and the other is kernel space implementation. However, can someone tell me the difference in these implementations from implementation point of view. Is it the case that sctplib has been implemented on top of UDP and LKSCTP directly on top of IP? Any comments are appreciated.
The userland implementation uses a raw IP socket (1.3.1 uses possibly a UDP socket for interprocess communication,
I do not know, it is not supported at the moment). But it is just a user program. The kernel implementation runs
as part of the kernel.
