[erlang-questions] Multiple SCTP associations

[Kenneth Flanagan]

Hi Serge,
Thanks for that. It's multiple single homed I trying to use and I've
worked out what I'm doing wrong. Initially I had problems sending h.248
because I couldn't find hrl's for record #sctp_sndrcvinfo where you need
to change the ppid (7 for h.248). I eventually copied in the structure
to my own hrl and set assoc_id = 1 by default, so every instance of my
MGW tried to use the same.

Once I make assoc_id dynamic (i.e. different for every instance of the
MGW) it works fine. Thanks again for the mail. I've muddled my own way
with SCTP_o_erlang up to now. Nice to know someone can help out :)

Best Regards,
Ken.

I am not able to reproduce your problem on Fedora Core 8, R11B-5.  Note
that for the sake of example I opened the multi-homed server socket on
two IPs, though this works even if you augment the IPs (e.g. 
gen_sctp:open(1234)).

NodeA:

4> f(S), {ok, S} =
gen_sctp:open([{port,1234},{ip,{192,168,0,14}},{ip,{192,168,0,13}}]).
{ok,#Port<0.97>}
5> gen_sctp:listen(S, true).
ok
6> gen_sctp:recv(S).
{ok,{{192,168,0,14},32785,[],{sctp_assoc_change,comm_up,0,10,10,4}}}
7> gen_sctp:recv(S).
{ok,{{192,168,0,13},32786,[],{sctp_assoc_change,comm_up,0,10,10,7}}}
8> gen_sctp:recv(S).
{ok,{{192,168,0,14},
      32785,
      [{sctp_sndrcvinfo,3,0,[],0,0,0,2115484281,0,4}],
      <<"Test">>}}


NodeB:
1> f(S), {ok, S} = gen_sctp:open([{ip, {192,168,0,14}}]).
{ok,#Port<0.100>}
2> f(A), {ok, A} = gen_sctp:connect(S, {192,168,0,13}, 1234, []).
{ok,{sctp_assoc_change,comm_up,0,10,10,2}}

NodeC:
1> f(S), {ok, S} = gen_sctp:open([{ip,{192,168,0,13}}]).
{ok,#Port<0.101>}
2> f(A), {ok, A} = gen_sctp:connect(S, {192,168,0,13}, 1234, []).
{ok,{sctp_assoc_change,comm_up,0,10,10,6}}

NodeB:
3> gen_sctp:send(S, A, 3, <<"Test">>).
ok
