[sctp-dev] Using SctpMultiChannel

[Johan Lübcke]

I had the same problem and I ended up doing a "send" call to the remote address. That way I get a AssociationChangeNotification with an association id that can be passed to "branch". 

This seems a bit awkward but it works. (Especially since I need to have some actual data to send already when I want to connect to the remote side). Doing a "connect" would have been more natural.

If there is a better way I am equally interested!

And the only way to get a regular SctpChannel out of this class seems to be branch(Accociation), but that's not either an option since I  need to have an association to call that.
