Hi,
For me, one advantage of sctplib over lksctp is that the sua library (an upper layer protocol of sctp) uses sctp lib and not lksctp. If I would like to use lksctp I would have to rewrite a lib for sua. It depends on what you want to do.

Best regards,
chris

Dear Michael Tüxen,

Thank you for the clarification.

I understand that sctplib is for userland and lksctp that is available
as a loadable module is the kernel SCTP.

I have been analyzing the various SCTP implementations in Linux.

Can you please let me know the advantages of sctplib over lksctp ?

Best regards,
Karthik Balaguru

Hello Everybody,

I have been analyzing the SCTP support in Windriver Linux.
I have a query related to lksctp that is being provided with Windriver Linux.

1. The below link seems to convey that for kernel 2.6.16, the version of lksctp is 1.0.6 -
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lksctp/files/lksctp/2.6.16-1.0.6/

2. The below link seems to convey that from 2.6.22 onwards , the version of lksctp is 1.0.7
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lksctp/files/lksctp/2.6.22-1.0.7/

3. The below link lists lksctp-tools with version 1.0.6.
http://www.akae.cn/study/ebook/wrs/wrLinux/wr_linux_platforms_release_notes_2.0.pdf The windriver linux is based on kernel 2.6.21 and the lksctp version is 1.0.6 . Considering
the points 1 and 2 also, this seems to justify  that for kernel versions from 2.6.16 to 2.6.21 ,
the lksctp version is 1.0.6.

So, i suspect that Windriver linux in turn provides the lksctp-tools from sourceforge based on the
kernel version.

Can  you please confirm whether my understanding/analysis is correct ?
   
Hi Karthik,

this list provides support for the sctplib implementation, not for the Linux
kernel implementation. You might want to ask this question on the LKSCTP
list or contact Windriver.

Best regards
Michael
