Dear all, I just wanted to state that http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket was used by the FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris developers to make sure that programs using SCTP can be written in a portable way. These developers are represented by coauthors, problems coming up during the implementation resulted in text improvements. This is done for a long time, almost since the beginning of the writing of the document. The ID was also used for the SCTP kernel implementations in HP-UX and AIX. The FreeBSD implementation has been ported to Windows and Mac OS X. However, these are not supported by the vendors of the operating system but also support the Socket API. A portable userland implementation of the socket API is available which uses a portable SCTP userland implementation. There is substantial implementation experience, however not every feature is currently implemented by every implementation. The latest additions, for example, have not been incorporated. Most of the deprecated ones are implemented and since they are implemented as documented, we kept the descriptions in the ID. Best regards Michael
