IPv6 and SCTP

[ThiagoMarinello]

Is there any provision (roadmap) for support protocols: IPv6 and/or SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol)?

Thank you.

Hi Thiago,

MQX 4.0 will support IPv6. There are no plans to add SCTP. THe MQX 4.0 will be released 2H2013.

It would be great to see IPv6 support in MQX . It would be wonderful to see sctp support too in mqx some day. I have worked on sctp and it does has some distinctive features over tcp and udp, specially the dual/multi homing for redundancy and streams for caring real time information.

Does MQX provide some kind of documentation on extending its network stack for users who would want to implement some other protocols that are not yet the part of mqx rtcs.

Hi Muhammad,

MQX only provide API for application development. The documentation about the internal functions in the stack is not provided as that. However, all the functions inside has a descrition of what parameters receive and what is the reason of the function. That could help. The good thing is that the code is open and you can modify if you need to.

Garabo is right, the MQX will support IPv6 soon.

• The initial support of IPv6 is planned for MQX 4.0.0 (dec2012/jan2013). Initial support means in extend of legacy IPV6 ilver certification
• During 2H2013 is planned to extend support and get the Golden IPv6 certification Logo
