[ace-users] Proposed SCTP enhancements in ACE

[Steve Huston]

Hi Andy,

This looks very interesting - thanks for pursuing it.

Since the ACE 5.6 release is coming up, it would be best to include
your new classes after that (actually, after the 5.6.1 BFO beta), but
please continue to develop and test your additions on the ACE_SCTP
branch.

Thanks,
-Steve

> ACE_SOCK_SCTP_SEQPACK_Acceptor
> ACE_SOCK_SCTP_SEQPACK_Connector
