Hi Julio,

Hi Michael!
OK, the RR-SCTP thesis is attached. Please give it a try. I will send my when I finish it, in a couple of months (I hope!).
Great.

I've made some modifications to the code, so that some parameters in some functions are no more "void *" pointers, instead they have a proper parameter type. This is something I disliked a lot! and why I fixed it.
Hmmmm.

Beside that, all the code concerning RR-SCTP is enclosed in "#ifdef" and you can enable it through a #define on the config.h file.
I can add a configure option to do that.

So, I will update my patch to sctplib-1.0.4 version and I will send it to you (as soon as I can).
Fine. I'll integrate it.

Regards,
Julio

Just send it. Maybe I can get some idea, maybe not. I can give it a try.

The situation is as follows:
The sctplib-1.0.4 is in bugfix mode... So I'm very hesitant to put it
in... We had a developer branch for new features, but it is currently
not maintained. So this is not a good idea.

I do not know if it is applicable, but if you can put in the changes
#ifdefed out by default and provide a configure option to enable your
stuff,
it would be OK. I would only check that it is really ifdefed out and
compiles
also when it is enabled. This would not introduce any instability for
people
not interested in RR-SCTP but gives people the possibility to play with
it, if they want. What do you think?
