The sctplib Implementation

The SCTP implementation supports the current version of the protocol. It runs under Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X and supports IPv4 and IPv6. The software is a result of a cooperation between Siemens, the Computer networking technology group of the University of Essen and the Münster University of Applied Sciences.

Getting the Source

This is very easy via the download page.

Support via mailinglists

SCTP Kernel Implementations

FreeBSD

From this page you can get the FreeBSD kernel implementation. It will be part of FreeBSD 7.0.

Mac OS X

From this page you can get a Network Kernel Extension (NKE) for Mac OS X. It is based on the FreeBSD kernel implementation.

Linux

All recent Linux kernels support SCTP.

Solaris 10

Solaris 10 provides SCTP support.
