Mauro,
I'm glad you ask, since it gives me a chance to put in a little plug for
the lksctp project.
No, we aren't abandoned at all.
It is quite true that we've been on a base of 2.4.1 overly long. We
are in the active process of moving to a 2.4.17 base and redoing our
file hierarchy to better allow us to stay up with current kernels. We
will hopefully be more nimble in the future, but our current code is
only available as anonymous download in CVS.
Overall, we'd love to get into 2.5, however realize we have a bit of
work to focus on first.
For more information, please visit the project's website at:

For more information on the SCTP protocol, see RFC 2960 at:

Best Regards,
Jon Grimm
