Question: SCTP support via native binding about go-diameter

[fiorix]

Client support has recently landed with the NewConn where you can pass an existing net.Conn to create the client.

On the server side, someone has done most of the work already and I hope it'll be merged back here in the near future. I will update this once I know more.

SCTP support is in, from #78

[fiorix]

Yeah I'm aware of this limitation, it really sucks. I thought about the bindings but it's a lot of work and I don't have time or motivation to do it. All systems that I use to test and run this code in production uses TCP currently.

Alright, fair enough :)

I am trying to make the binding in a seperate repo at the moment, if it turns out to be idiomatic and simple, I'll get back to you.

cheers

Once you get the bindings going, you can make up a layer implementing Go's net package (Dial, Listener, etc) so we don't need very specific changes in go-diameter's client and server code.

[erdem-aslan]

Yes, I was implying the net package's exposed interfaces by saying idiomatic and simple.

Seems I'm a little late but I currently have a build based on this. Tested this internally on RHEL7 with SCTP support and it seems to be working. Would you be interested in reviewing?
