Hi Michael,

I also have the same question which Farhan raised some times back. Can
you please shed some light on this. The question: Are the sctp library
and LK_SCTP the same code one in user land and the other in kernel mode
version.
No. They are completely different implementations.
I do have a working version of sctp library but I have a copy of LK_SCTP
but never went through the code.

It will help.

Thanks

Hi Farhan,

the kernel provides 'only' a kernel module. For building programs you
also need header files and most likely a library providing some
functions from the socketAPI. These are included in LKSCTP besides
documentation and test programs.

Hi,

When I was building kernel 2.6, I realized that it has support for
SCTP. When the kernel already has support for SCTP, what is the need
for LKSCTP? Can someone explain? Or maybe I should be directing this
question to the lksctp mailing list I guess....


Thanks,
Farhan.
