Hi David,

did you compile the sources from www.sctp.de by your own and
they are working? The stuff from www.sct.be are the soruces
from www.sctp.de compiled by Lode and then put into an installer.
The plan is that they are simpler to use, but maybe something
went wrong. Did you manage to get the version from www.sctp.de
running by compiling themselves?

Best regards
Michael

Hi Mark,

We are talking about sctplib for windows from sctplib.BE right - from the
Belgium site and not the German one ?

I also tried the sctplib.exe from sctplib.be and found that it just
wouldn't work either. Watching in ethereal I could see that it can
generate sctp packets but would never seem to react to receiving any
packets - as if they never arrived at sctplib or it dropped them all. The
command line programs seem to ignore the verbose flags so I couldn't glean
any clues.

I one example the INIT would go out from the PC, and the INIT ACK would
come back from my device under test, and that would be it. It stopped
there.

I tried various combinations of terminal, echo_server and it could never
establish an association with my test device. By comparison my redhat box
sitting right next to my PC is able to establish an association and
send/receive echo packets (for eg) with my test device. The redhat box is
running sctplib 1.0.4 and using the same command line test programs -
terminal, echo_server (and indeed multiserver for dual-home testing).

So sadly I can only concur that I couldn't get it to work either. A shame
because a simple install on windows would be great as setting it up under
linux does take a few fiddly steps to get it working.

I agree with Michael - not sure that you want to run the echo server and
echo_tool on the same PC ?

cheers,
davidp.
