Are there any other (open source) > implementations of it? The SCTP home page (www.sctp.org) has a list of implementations. Note that I had to use Google's cache of the site -- I believe there was a Slashdot article on SCTP this morning which may have taken down the site. AIX, Solaris, HP and Cisco all support SCTP in their latest OS versions. There are aslo a few different (non-free) implementations for Windows, and at least one open-source implementation for Linux (http://www.openss7.org) -- Matt Emmerton
