As far as I know SDP is currently implemented in OFED as a separate address family (AF_INET_SDP). This is an unfortunate approach because: * This approach will never be accepted upstream by the Linux kernel maintainers. * The approach of of preloading a library in order to make applications use SDP without modifying these applications is error prone -- it is really hard to make such a library 100% correct. When will work start on an SDP API that is acceptable for inclusion in the mainstream Linux kernel ? One possible approach is to extend the BSD socket API with support for multiple IP stack implementations. This can be implemented by e.g. adding a system call msocket() that has four parameters -- the three classic socket() parameters and a fourth parameter for the IP stack. See also http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/index.php/Multi_stack_support_for_Berkeley_Sockets or http://www.fosdem.org/2009/schedule/events/ipn_msockets for a more complete explanation.
