The IETF SIGTRAN working group originally +developed the SCTP protocol and later handed the protocol over to the +Transport Area (TSVWG) working group for the continued evolvement of SCTP as a +general purpose transport. + +See the IETF website (http://www.ietf.org) for further documents on SCTP. +See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2960.txt + +The initial project goal is to create an Linux kernel reference implementation +of SCTP that is RFC 2960 compliant and provides an programming interface +referred to as the UDP-style API of the Sockets Extensions for SCTP, as +proposed in IETF Internet-Drafts. + + +Caveats: + +-lksctp can be built as statically or as a module. However, be aware that +module removal of lksctp is not yet a safe activity. + +-There is tentative support for IPv6, but most work has gone towards +implementation and testing lksctp on IPv4. + + +For more information, please visit the lksctp project website: + http://www.sf.net/projects/lksctp + +Or contact the lksctp developers through the mailing list: + <lksctp-developers@lists.sourceforge.net> + + |
