Hi vpin,

I suggest the first step you do is install sctpli and then install the socketapilib.
Once you have sucessfully installed both you'll find that you can easily test the different issues you're asking about. sctplib supports multihoming but you'll need to have two different networks on different subnets to do.

- You will add new IPs b having more than one network interface
- I don't think the kernel implementation matters (but i might be wrong)
- multihoming is supported by default in sctplib. If you can get your Operating System to have more than 1 interface then sctplib will be able to automatically use it
- if you install the socketapilib yes you can have ftp file transfers (i don't see what the kernel has to do with this though)

Regards,
Jeff

Helo Mike,

How can we configure more than 1 ip address to a single network interface,how sctp supports that feature,,,??? do we have to modify the program or something,,,???

where will we add the new ips???

and about kernel implementation,,i am using a 2.6.11 kernel,,if i use lksctp,,do i need 2 recompile my 2.6.11 kernel..what is the discussion support for lksctp??
and do you know which all packages ,,i mean lksctp lib and api are compatible and required to install in 2.6.11 kernel,,,,
can we use normal file transfer using sctp if we use kernel implementation,,,can i use ping packets using sctp protocol???

regards
