As far as I can tell an 'acccept' is necessary. It exists at the lower<br>
level to provide a socket for communicating with the client that made<br>
the association. Without this you can't spawn a process per client on<br>
the server side, unless I'm missing something?<br>
<br>
Has this simply not mattered because sctp is not supported in most cloud<br>
networks and such, so it isn't used? Meaning it makes sense for me to<br>
add an accept interface? Or is it actually not needed somehow and<br>
associations can be handled in a similar way to what I described without<br>
a new socket?<br>
