Currently these programs provide the only example code on +how to use ACE's wrapper-facades for SCTP. In the future additional +code will be placed in the ACE_wrappers/examples/IPC_SAP/SOCK_SAP +directory. + +SOCK_STREAM_clt and SOCK_STREAM_srv use the SOCK_STREAM service +provided by SCTP via ACE's SOCK_Connector, SOCK_Stream, +SOCK_Association wrapper-facade classes. + +SOCK_SEQPACK_clt and SOCK_SEQPACK_srv use the SOCK_SEQPACKET service +provided by SCTP via ACE's SOCK_SEQPACK_Connector, +SOCK_SEQPACK_Association and SOCK_SEQPACK_Acceptor wrapper-facade +classes. + +The following table provides a summary of relationships between two main +Linux SCTP implementations (OpenSS7 and LKSCTP), and ACE Wrapper Facades +support that is provided. Built on top of the ACE Wrapper Facade support is +the SCIOP support in TAO. SCIOP works identically on both OpenSS7 and +LKSCTP implementations.
