I am trying to find some information on what kernel resources are expended when creating an SCTP association. In particular I wanted to be able to compare a TCP connection to an SCTP association and see how the use of kernel resources between the two different protocols differ. Does anybody have an idea on where I can find such information? I am quite familiar with TCP and UDP and am interested to see if SCTP can replace a UDP implementation that has "reliability" added into the application level. The reason UDP is being used is due to the interconnectedness of the network of servers. If SCTP could be used instead then that would definately be the better solution. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Keith
