Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-05-23 Severity: wishlist * Package name : sctplib Version : 1.0.0-pre19-1 Upstream Author : Thomas Dreibholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://tdrwww.exp-math.uni-essen.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ * License : LGPL Description : Userland implementation of the SCTP protocol (RFC 2960)
The sctplib library is a fairly complete prototype implementation of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), a message-oriented reliable transport protocol that supports multi-homing, and multiple message streams multiplexed within an SCTP connection (also named association). SCTP is described in RFC 2960, RFC 3309 and RFC 3286. This implementation is the product of a cooperation between Siemens AG (ICN), Munich, Germany and the Computer Networking Technology Group at the IEM of the University of Essen, Germany. See http://www.sctp.de/ for details. The API of the library was modeled after section 10 of RFC 2960, and most parameters and functions should be self-explanatory to the user familiar with this document. In addition to these interface functions between an Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) and an SCTP instance, the library also provides a number of helper functions that can be used to manage callback function routines to make them execute at a certain point of time (i.e. timer-based) or open and bind UDP sockets on a configurable port, which may then be used for an asynchronous interprocess communication. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux caribe 2.4.20 #8 Fri Dec 6 14:19:52 EST 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
