Hi Michele, Thanks for your time and reply. We here have a requirement to implement a CLI to get these stats. And one of the options we thought to use was /proc files to get these stats. Going through the mail chain of this patch (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sctp/msg01813.html) , I came across this. " socket option is preferable as /proc doesn't scale very well as number of associations grows." Here I am just curious to know how much "is the number of associations" referred to?

It was preferred to do it via an API extension, similar to how Solaris does it. And, I believe, the /proc interface for these kind of things is discouraged. regards, Michele -- 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
