I am always wondering why SCTP is not taking off. From the few tests I did it works perfectly well, the location/identifier separation is pretty cleanly handled in DNS and inside the protocol for quick updates. Unfortunately not much software supports it at the moment. One way to fix that is to add a small proxy/BIA tool which changes TCP+UDP into SCTP. This works for server and client side. But nobody wants to do this for some mysterious reason. Greets, Jeroen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
