Re: SCTP Port problem

Hi Michael,

Well. After I used 2910 I set up again a new connection with my SG going to another MSC-S but this time 2905 worked.

I think its kind a funny but its true.

Regards

richard

Hi Richard,

older version of the *BSD implementation did not support the port resuse
option, so when using the 1-to-1 style socket API you could not have
more than one client using  a particular port. But this has now
changed. Linux and Solaris did support it much longer.

Not sure which version you are using...

Best regards
Michael
