Greetings, Are there any plans to import SCTP support to OpenSSH? There have been SCTP patches for OSX and FreeBSD, and those seem to work pretty decently. I guess there might quite a number of potential users for SCTP were it part of the common source tree. A second benefit of having SCTP support as a standard feature in OpenSSH for all platforms supporting SCTP would be kind of social pressure for more and more platforms to aim at adopting SCTP. Cheers, --jau

I did some tweaks to get the security/openssh-portable port to compile, but have not tested it. It would be great if it were upstreamed. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
