[RFC] SCTP in Smalltalk

Hi all,

I have started creating some very basic SCTP support. Right now I do not
intend to support things like multi-homing, peeling off streams or such. I do
intend to support streams and other things.

On Linux there is a library for sctp that implements functions proposed in a
RFC. In general this API is just a wrapper around setsockopt or using the OOB
of the sendmsg/recvmsg.

My basic question is if I should DLD addLibrary this library or use CStruct to
create structs like the sctp_sndrcvinfo and use sendmsg/rcvmsg directly.

regards

So that would be only reliable datagrams for now?

It's the same for me.

It's interesting, but a very different thing.

Well, from what I understand even the connection orientated sockets work with
packets/datagrams (not the classical stream one knows from TCP).
