-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was wondering if something existed that "NAT"ted/portmap SCTP to TCP. A Bump In the API or preload would suffice to make this work. Hijack the listen() function to listen on both the TCP and SCTP port, though that would require 2 sockets and thus app support. It would possibly be easier to do when the kernel handles this or there was a possiblity to portmap SCTP->TCP thus keeping the original source address, which is known. Let the connect() function first try SCTP and if that fails let it connect over TCP. This could be done using a BIA trick. This would greatly enhance the number of applications that support SCTP as suddenly everything supports it. There is a bit of overhead in that every SCTP connect will be refused if the remote host doesn't do SCTP at all. This could be resolved by having a little cache for ip pairs that don't support SCTP, eg 'SCPT connect fails, don't try the trick next time when trying this host for the coming <n> days' Greets, Jeroen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Unfix PGP for Outlook Comment: Jeroen Massar / http://unfix.org/~jeroen/ iQBGBAERAgAQCRApqihSMz58IwUCQFxLoAAA8VYAnjStRK2iP4GbNaTyDwfxd2s7 xwrRAKCkbhbjUO1F/g009oy8onSy7WjU9Q== =YSAt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
