Hi All,
Back in August I posted a mail to this list [1]. It essentially was a
pointer to a draft Java API for SCTP. Since then I have updated the
draft [2] based on the feedback I received and also some other minor
specification issues.
Highlights include:
- support for partial reliability extension
- sending of large messages
- support various other socket options, including association
specific options
- clean up specification around dynamic address reconfiguration, i.e.
bindAddress, unbindAddress
If you are interested in Java SCTP support please take a look a the
updated draft. All feedback is welcome.
-Chris.
