ABOUT sctp-tools contains a simple SCTP server and SCTP client program which can be used to send data using SCTP protocol. The programs can be used to transfer data using both SEQPKT or STREAM type of SCTP sockets. sctp-tools can be used both on Linux and FreeBSD. LICENSING The programs are licensed under two-clause BSD license. BUILDING and INSTALLING Edit the Makefile if necessary, type 'make' to compile the programs. For FreeBSD, you'll need GNU make (install with 'pkg_add -r gmake'), then type 'gmake FREEBSD=1'. If you want to enable the debug information, edit src/defs.h and remove comments around #define DEBUG. Then rebuild the application. If built with debugging enabled, the program will write debug information to stderr. RUNNING Both programs have '--help' option which should provide some information on the available command line parameters. To enable authentication support on Linux, issue (as root) following command $ sysctl -w net.sctp.auth_enable=1 CONTACT Send all bug reports, improvement ideas and such to jtaimisto@gmail.com.
