The latest socketapilib is compatible with sctplib. Try it and hopefully things work fine

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
