Hi,
we discussed it between team members on IRC.
The implementation in knet has some bugs that noone had the time to
address and we have been hitting a lot of instabilities while running CI
tests across different distros/kernel combinations, due to different
implementations of SCTP at kernel level itself, that makes it rather
challenging to have a functional userland.
Based on the bugs reports that we receive, noone is using SCTP for what
we know (I think one was reported over the last 4 or 5 years? and I know
the code has bugs...)
1.x will continue to ship the code, it´s one --enable-* away.
Since knet allows runtime reconfiguration of links, switching to UDP
will be a 0 downtime change.
Cheers
Fabio

* IMPORTANT: sctp support is now officially deprecated. It is disabled
by default and it will be removed in knet 2.x.
I'm being curious, but I failed to found some changelog or discussion about knet
development, history and such decision. Any pointers?
Thanks!
