    SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Hello!

    I want to use SCTP protocol on Windows, but it's much harder, that I was thinking. Under Linux I haven't got any problems, because it have native implementation and simple API.

    I found SCTP implementation (sctpplib from www.sctp.de). I'm trying to understand it's API, but without good dosumentation and simple examples it's really hard.

    Does anyone have any experience with this protocol on Windows?

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    You might want to try SctpDrv: it adds support for SCTP as a Winsock provider and a library you need to link to in order to use the SCTP API. You can get a version for 32-bit Windows XP and 32/64 bit Windows Vista and 7 from http://www.bluestop.org/SctpDrv . Documentation is available at http://www.bluestop.org/SctpDrv/doc/.

    Unhappy Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Hello brucec,

    I'm also interested in using SCTP on Windows. So I've tried to install sctpDrv (of X'mas ver. ) into Windows XP (SP3), but failed. The error message says "startservice=87" (that could mean "wrong parameters").
    Then, I also tried to use sctpDrv of the former version (Mar. 2008), but it didn't also work well.
    Of course, I followed the instruction at http://www.co-conv.jp/en/product/sctpDrv/20081224.

    I'd be happy to hear whether you've successfully used it on Windows XP (or Vista) or not and to hear any advices or suggestions about it.

    BR,

    Nik

    I've installed sctpDrv on XP SP3, but I've just realised the instructions don't say that you need IPv6 installed. To install it, run "netsh interface ipv6 install". You can check if sctpDrv is installed correctly by running the echo_client and echo_server apps in c:\program files\sctpDrv\bin .

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    I created a new version earlier today with a few bugs fixed, changed the installer language to English and added some detail if things do fail. I've put instructions at http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv and the installer files can be found at http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv/releases .

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Hello brucec,

    Many thanks. I'm sorry for my belated reply. I was out for a week.
    Anyway, I've just tried installing sctpDrv on several machines one of which could successfully accept it (w/o any errors). However, when I try to run echo_client and echo_server apps (by typing echo_server.exe serv), I face the error that says "GetAddrInfo: The specified class was not found". I've been using Windows XP SP3 Japanese version. :-)

    Further, concerning BUILDing sources, I've been getting a lot of errors. I just changed "makerelease.bat" file like adding the line "set WDKPATH=(path to the WinDDK directory)" and modifying slightly the line that begins with "cmd \c" from "-f Makefile.wix" to "-f wix\Makefile.wix".

    An example of errors is:
    1>errors in directory c:\(some direcotries)\sctpdrv\drv
    1>c:\windkk\7685.(...)\bin\makefile.new(7117) : error U1087: cannot have : and :: dependents for same target
    1>c:\nmake.exe /nologo BUILDMSG=Stop. -i BUILD_PASS=PASS0 /nologo /f c:\windkk\7685.(...)\bin\makefile.def NOLINK=1 PASS0ONLY=1 MAKEDIR_RELATIVE_TO_BASEDIR= failed - rc = 2

    I refered to the website at http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv.

    I'd be happy to hear any advices from you.

    Best wishes,

    Nikurah

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Hello brucec,

    I realized that some spaces in the name of the directory caused the errors. So, I've just retried building again and gotten the summary shown as follows:
    1591 files compiled - 2 Warnings - 3 Errors - 890 LPS
    77 libraries built - 1 Error
    221 executables build

    So, I'm gonna try finding the position where errors occured.

    Gruesse,

    Nikurah

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    That sounds like far too many libraries and executables it built - are you sure you were running the command in the sctpDrv directory?

    Thx for ur quick reply.

    Actually I was wrong.

    ...etc.

    I'd be happy if you would kindly help me.

    BR,

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    That's an expected error - it's mentioned on my site, but perhaps not very clearly. Unfortunately the WDK doesn't support long filenames, and we need to reference headers and libraries in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0 - on my PC that ends up as C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Windows\v7.0 but on computers with other Microsoft directories it might end up as MICROS~3 etc.

    I don't know of any solution other than to manually edit sctpDrv\netsh\sctpmon\sources and change the directory. You can find the short filename you need by running "dir/x" in a command prompt.

    The 7.0.0 WDK also has a bug where GetNameInfo and GetAddrInfo have been mangled; the best option is probably to copy ws2_32.lib from lib\win7\i386 to lib\wxp\i386 in C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0

    I've updated the page at http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv with a section "Known Build Errors" which I hope will help you solve the errors you're seeing.

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Great instruction!!
    I've successfully built them. ;-)

    And also could run default apps (echo).

    Thanks for your kind support so far.

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    Is the http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv down or moved? I tried to use the jp version msi but failed with the error message "StartService=87", eventhough I installed IPv6. Since the http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv is gone I cannot find the Bruce's version. Any information is highly appreciated!

    Re: SCTP protocol support on MS Windows, looking for help

    http://www.bluestop.org/sctpDrv is up and running for me, and I can't see any problems accessing it over IPv4, IPv6 or from different locations. If you're having problems accessing the site, I've also put the releases on Sourceforge at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sctpdrv . Version 1.1.2 has lots of installer fixes - you can access both English and Japanese MSI files by clicking on the "View all files" button.
