SCTP Bakeoff - the host setup
Each host is (at least) dual homed. This is not a ‘standard’ setup for a laptop running Linux.There are some problems related to ARP.
The routing table has to be configured in a way that 192.168.0.0 is sent via one interface and 192.169.0.0 via the other. It took some time to configure all hosts to have this settings. Ping is a very useful tool for testing it in combination with the LEDs on the Ethernet HUBs.
The participants need to be able to use tools like netstat and route (on UNIX systems).
Each host (or another one/two connected to the Ethernet HUBs) should have a packet analyzer running. A graphical one is Ethereal which supports SCTP in version 0.8.11 or later. It runs on UNIX using X11 and Windows. The source code and binaries for selected operating systems are available under http://www.zing.org.
