SCTP support for FreeRTOS

Libraries
1

Currently FreeRTOS only supports TCP and UDP transport protocols, that too in FreeRTOS-Plus libraries. For embedded systems used in Radio Communication, SCTP is a key transport layer protocol. In linux or RT Ubuntu, posix provides us the option to open and monitor SCTP sockets. Is there a way that SCTP sockets can be incorporated with FreeRTOS?

If no, then is there anything in the FreeRTOS’ feature pipeline to provide a solution for this?
Any support will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Abhishek,

Welcome to the FreeRTOS community. We have no immediate plans to add SCTP support in the FreeRTOS-plus-TCP library. However, if you are planning to contribute and create a PR, we would be happy to help in review and merge.

Thanks,
Shub

Hi @Shub,

Thanks for the response. I’ll look into the integration of SCTP protocol with FreeRTOS. I’ll create a PR once I am confident with the build.

Thanks,
Abhishek
