SCTP implementation

SCTP implementation

[Olivier Henley]

Hi to all,

Anyone aware of an Ada implementation of the SCTP protocol?

Thx.

Well, SCTP is a transport layer protocol. There must be Windows and 
Linux kernel drivers and networks infrastructure devices implementing 
it, who knows in what language written.

Ada implementation presumes an application layer protocol. I hope you 
are not asking for SCTP on top of raw Ethernet, that would make no sense.

Probably yes.

At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_Control_Transmission_Protocol we can read: 'In the absence of native SCTP support in operating systems it is possible to tunnel SCTP over UDP,[1] as well as mapping TCP API calls to SCTP ones.'

I am asking because WebRTC DataChannel is at the door and pushing (demand and needs... game developer perspective here) See https://www.cubeslam.com/ by google.

Raw Ethernet would make far more sense than that. But I guess that in 
case of any reasonable demand MS will implement it for Windows, fitted 
into the existing socket infrastructure.

P.S. I don't know if SCTP will make it. So far it seems that there is no 
interest in SCTP. The network infrastructure keeps on improving 
drastically. Whatever gains SCTP might provide they look minuscule in 
comparison.
