I start a new thread about sctp in nanomsg, I hope to clarify some sctp
concepts.
FreeBSD and Linux has native kernel sctp support, other systems
(Windows) need a userland library; don't know current status on OSX. It
can work over UDP (sctp packets inside udp) in some systems too.
SCTP has two modes,
a) one-to-one similar to tcp developed to easy convert
tcp programs to sctp. It doesn't support all sctp
features but it's the easiest path to test/convert to/use sctp.
b) one-to-many with full sctp features, needs a new transport
implementation.
We (I, me) can begin with a) and start develop b), but as I said before, I
prefer to do so AFTER test and bug fixing (implementation and logical
bugs) current nng master.
