I will try to address all your comments in a second version of the patch. One thing I am not too sure though: do you prefer me extending /proc/net/sctp/* or implement a new call. I ask because from a previous private communication with Vlad the new socket option seemed to be the preferred approach. I am fine either way just let me know ;) cheers, -- Michele Baldessari <michele@xxxxxxxxxx> C2A5 9DA3 9961 4FFB E01B D0BC DDD4 DCCB 7515 5C6D -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sctp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
