[sctp-dev] Windows port

[Christopher Hegarty -Sun Microsystems Ireland]

Hi Dennis, Gili,

Having Windows SCTP support in OpenJDK would certainly be useful. I 
believe I may have even committed to looking into this possibility before!

I agree with Dennis here, I think we need to evaluate the available 
implementations, and make a decision about which to build on top of. I 
cannot make any definite commitments, with respect to spending time 
exclusively on this project, but I certainly can help with the 
implementation ( I don't believe there should be a great deal of work 
here ).

Have either of you, or anyone else on this mailing list, got experience 
using SCTP on Windows?

-Chris.
