Hi Dennis, Thank you for the information! What I'm asking/proposing is at a higher layer of abstraction for applications running in data grid/HPC environments. The initial idea is to make it support GridFTP. So, if SCTP can serve as the underlying transport layer protocol, that will be great. If not, we may want to use TCP instead and manage the multiple streams in the library. Also, other than transferring files with multiple streams, we may need more features such as load spread over multiple links, stripped data transfer, security, and so on. - yxn > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
