Hi Babu,

when you resolve a domain name to a list of IP-addresses you
do not know if these addresses belong to the same host or
not. So you can not use a call like sctp_connectx() with
all the addresses to set up an association. You can use
one address to set up the association and let the host
negotiate the addresses being used during the setup
of the association.

Best regards
Michael

Hello,

How will the URL to be mapped to IP addresses in the multihomed SCTP?
For example, assume www.test.com uses the multihomed SCTP. Will
SCTP need two IP addresses, one for www1.test.com and another for
www2.test.com? If so, how will the client specify the URL on the
browser interface? Will the user have to specify two URLs?
Thanks in advance.
