.NET SCTP implementation

Question

I'm looking for a .NET implementation of the SCTP protocol. A component or a C#/F# source code would be preferred, however if no such thing is available a VB.NET source code could probably work too. The project I'm working on is targeting the .NET Framework v3.5 but anything that works with .NET v2 to v4 is welcome.

Answer 1

A .NET 4 assembly now gets installed with version 1.1.6 of SctpDrv; it provides an API that's similar to the Socket class but with new methods for SCTP.

Answer 2

I think you can use SctpDrv.

From the link

"SctpDrv is provided as a kernel driver which contains the SCTP stack. A Winsock provider dll is registered with Windows and gets called whenever an application wants to send data over SCTP. This way, the functionality is provided transparently to applications: IPPROTO_SCTP is just another protocol available in the socket (WSASocket) function call. The SCTP specific functions such as sctp_send are provided by linking to sctpsp.lib. "

I hope it helps.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this helps you, but an alternative with some similar features to SCTP is the Lidgren Network library (C#, user-space component, custom protocol based on UDP).

Answer 4

I wasn't able to find anything in C# but there are some implementations in C++ and Java on SourceForge.
