[sctp-dev] Basic Questions

[David Ryan]

Hi,

I have recently downloaded the Client/Server example from Chris Hegarty's
Blog.  I've been playing around with it and getting a feel for SCTP.  My
environment is Java 7 b59 running on Open Solaris 2009.06  (in VMware Fusion
on OSX).

I changed the example code to send different sized packets and found that
the maximum size of data returned by receive was 16,000 bytes.  Is this the
exact same size of the underlying network packet?  I'm assuming it is and
that the packet size is large because it didn't actually go over a network.

Is it possible to discover the PMTU size from the API so that a protocol can
be optimized for SCTP?

Also, great to see SCTP on Java.  Disapointing its not on all platforms yet,
but I'm sure that will be fixed in good time.

Regards,
David.
