---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This source code repository contains an implementation of the
socket API for the sctplib SCTP userland implementation.

See http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-18.txt
for a description of the API.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation instructions:
1. - Get a compatible version of the sctplib from http://www.sctp.de/sctp.html
   - Install it:
     prompt> tar xzvf sctplib-XXXX.tar.gz
     prompt> cd sctplib-XXXX
     prompt> ./configure
     prompt> make
     prompt> make install   (as root!)
     Now, the sctplib should be installed under /usr/local.
2. - Go to the socketapi directory
     prompt> aclocal
     prompt> autoconf
     prompt> autoheader
     prompt> automake
     prompt> ./configure
     prompt> make
