Fwd: [Lksctp-developers] Socket extension API version

[Jamal Hadi Salim <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
Ive been asked if there were any known interfaces for SCTP/Java for the
purpose of the TML.

Michael Tüxen, one of the SCTP gurus, has forwarded me these two links.

The first one is:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/sctp/

The second one is in the email below.

cheers,
jamal
