struct socket to int about usrsctp HOT 8 CLOSED

No, you can't. The reason is that there is none. For the userland stack the replacement is a pointer to the socket, which is opaque for users.
Why do you think you need the number?

from usrsctp.

Problem is that I have program implemented with select functionality. I need number for casting to SOCKET or adding directly to fd_set for selecting socket when data is receaved

from usrsctp.

You can't use SCTP sockets in combination with select(). The reason is that select() takes kernel sockets into considerations to which you refer to by an fd. The userland stack just deals with its own sockets, and therefore they don't exist in the kernel and can't be used in combination with select().

Is there any plans to code kernel version?

For Windows? No!

Linux and FreeBSD have SCTP kernel support out-of-the-box.

Why not? Problems from M$ side? Tell me more

SCTP is supported natively at least by the following operating systems:

• AIX
• FreeBSD
• HP/UX
• Linux
• Solaris

The FreeBSD sources are also used for the

• userland stack usrsctp
• Network kernel extension supporting Mac OS X: El Capitan, Yosemite
• Windows kernel extension: SctpDrv

However, the Windows kernel extensions is not maintained anymore. It just needs someone with Windows expertise to do the work.

SCTP is commercially used in telephony signalling networks, especially mobile networks, and therefore the above selection of operating systems makes sense. As far as I know, Microsoft is not active in that area. Recently, SCTP is also used as a transport protocol in WebRTC. For integrating it into Web browsers and running on top of DTLS, you need a userland implementation. Therefore, incentives for Microsoft to integrate SCTP into their operating system might be litte.

NAT traversal is another issue, but can be dealt with UDP encapsulation of SCTP. This is currently supported by usrsctp, the FreeBSD stack and the NKEs for Mac OS X.

thank you for answer :)
