Re: (FCoverIP) SCTP extension.

["Randall R. Stewart" <randall@stewart.chicago.il.us>]

There is not per se a SCTP mailing list.

SCTP is owned by the sigtran working group. The
specification itself is in the RFC editors queue.

There are several extensions for SCTP being worked
upon ... i.e. u-sctp, and others.

If you are interested, I would suggest the mailing
lists

sigtran
and a companion
sigtran-test
and 
rspool

all of which are on the nortelnetworks standards site.
