SCTP protocol in Ubutnu

[tomcio]

Hi!

I'd like to take a look at SCTP protocol during I have holidays and write some small apps to see how it works i practice.

I read, that SCTP support was included in Linux since kernel v2.4, but i haven't found any "sctp.h" header file in "/usr/inlude/netinet" in default installation. Can someone explain me, why it isnt available by default?

While searching repository I found two different implementations. One is developed by "Linux Kernel SCTP" adn second comes from http://www.sctp.de/ .

Which one is "the only right" and which one should I use?

SCTP protocol is indeed supported in the Linux kernel. However if you want to use it in your applications, please install

sudo apt-get install libsctp-dev lksctp-tools

Once these are successfully installed, to test whether SCTP is working, you can run a SCTP server in one terminal

sctp_darn -H 0 -P 2500 -l

and in another terminal, you can run a SCTP client in another terminal

sctp_darn -H 0 -P 2600 -h 127.0.0.1 -p 2500 -s

Now type any text in the client which will be reflected in the server output. Once this is working, please hop on over to http://lksctp.sourceforge.net/index.html for more details about SCTP. The test commands above are from http://lksctp.sourceforge.net/testing.html with the port numbers changed to be above 1023 so you do not need sudo. Hope this helps.
