Hi Michael,
The reason I added SCTP conversation is because
I found it very useful for measuring retransmissions on mutihomed
association.
It helps to identify network configuration problems.
With regards to filters I didn't finish it yet. But if your sctp_stat
already doing it I'm not going to do it.
The bottom line is that we needed counters for each chunk sent and
received from/to each SCTP endpoint.
Thanks,
Oleg.

Hi Oleg,
I have played with the SCTP code you sent and have some comments: 1. How
much sense does it make to have SCTP conversations?
I'm wondering, because for UDP or TCP this corresponds to
a TCP connection or a UDP communication relation. But for
SCTP it has no sense, since SCTP associations are multihomed.
Guy, what do you mean?
2. If the user specifies a display filter for an association
you provide a statistic for the chunks. Currently on the last
chunk within each packet matching the display filter is counted.
How do you use this feature? Do you need this counter per
association for each direction separately or do you
use also other filters? We could integrate such a statistic
in the SCTP analysis window which shows information per association.
Best regards
Michael
