Package strsctp-0.9.2.8 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.
OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP (`strsctp') is an OpenSS7 Project implementation
of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP - RFC 2960) for Linux
Fast-STREAMS. It is based on the same protocol engine core as the
OpenSS7 Linux Native (Sockets) version of OpenSS7 SCTP. The package
provides a STREAMS SCTP driver for use with SIGTRAN components of the
OpenSS7 stack.
This release is the eighth separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS
SCTP driver that was formerly present in the OpenSS7
SS7/SIGTRAN/ISDN/VoIP strss7 package. The networking driver
(streams-sctp) is provided, as well as NPI, TPI and XTI header files
for SCTP operation. The package contains the necessary manual pages
and other documentation for SCTP components in a separate autoconf
tarball.
This release is a stable production release for Linux Fast-STREAMS.
This release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent
distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Staggering performance improvements. The performance
improvements/correction provided in the streams-0.9.2.3 Linux
Fast-STREAMS package and a little bit of performance tuning of the
streams-sctp driver has resulted in staggering performance
improvements.
- STREAMS SCTP now runs up to 300% faster than Linux TCP in tests.
See the STREAMS SCTP Performance page for more information
<http://www.openss7.org/strsctp_perf.html>.
- Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
- Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel.
- Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
- Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
- Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
- Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and
2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
- Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
- Support for recent distributions and tool chains.
This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it
deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release
before reporting bugs.
As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and
2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production
kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.
This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public
License Version 2'. The release is available as an `autoconf'
tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the
downloads page <http://www.openss7.org/download.html> for the
`autoconf' tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and
binary RPMs and DEBs, see the strsctp package page
<http://www.openss7.org/strsctp_pkg.html>.
See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strsctp-0.9.2.8/ChangeLog> and
<http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strsctp-0.9.2.8/NEWS> in the release
for more information. Also, see the `strsctp.pdf' manual in the
release, also in html <http://www.openss7.org/strsctp_manual.html>.
