Are you implementing SCTP from scratch?

If you run FreeBSD-STABLE (i.e. FreeBSD 4.8), you can get a version
of SCTP in the latest KAME snapshots: http://www.kame.net.

This version of SCTP is a kernel level implementation that is written
and maintained by Randall Stewart, the original designer of the SCTP protocol.

You can get more info at Randall's page: http://www.sctp.org


I've tried to port Randall's SCTP implementation from -STABLE to -CURRENT
(i.e. 5.2), and it is not a trivial thing to do, so I haven't successfully
completed it.
