PySCTP - SCTP bindings for Python --------------------------------- Elvis Pfützenreuter Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia (http://www.indt.org.br) epx __AT__ epx.com.br Philippe Langlois P1 Security (http://www.p1sec.com) phil __AT__ p1sec.com ====================================================================== INSTALL sudo python setup.py install * to see what this is going to install without actually doing it: python setup.py install --dry-run * to just build and not install: python setup.py build In case you want to install the module explicitely for Python 2 or 3, just replace _python_ by _python2_ / _python3_ in the commands above. ====================================================================== DEPENDENCIES: You can automatically install dependencies for Debian/Ubuntu: make installdeps Otherwise, necessary would be e.g. on Ubuntu: libsctp-dev and python-dev (python2-dev or python3-dev for an explicit version of Python) Support for Mac OSX is not tested, but should be doable through the SCTP Network Kernel Extension (NKE) available at: https://github.com/sctplab/SCTP_NKE_HighSierra ====================================================================== INTRODUCTION PySCTP gives access to the SCTP transport protocol from Python language. It extends the traditional socket interface, allowing SCTP sockets to be used in most situations where a TCP or UDP socket would work, while preserving the unique characteristics of the protocol. For more information about SCTP, go to http://www.sctp.org or RFC 4960. For discussion, sources, bugs, go to http://github.com/p1sec/pysctp In a nutshell, PySCTP can be used as follows: --------- import socket import sctp sk = sctp.sctpsocket_tcp(socket.AF_INET) sk.connect(("10.0.1.1", 36413)) ... most socket operations work for SCTP too ... sk.close() --------- The autotest programs (e.g. test_local_cnx.py) are actually good examples of pysctp usage. The BSD/Sockets SCTP extensions are defined by an IETF draft (draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-10.txt) and PySCTP tries to map those extensions very closely. So, to really take the most advantage of SCTP and PySCTP, you must understand how the API works. You can find advice about it in the the draft itself (not incredibly easy to understand though), as well the 3rd edition of Unix Network Programming. ====================================================================== DESCRIPTION 1) The "sctp" module The "sctp" module is the Python side of the bindings. The docstrings of every class and method can give good advice of functions, but the highlights are: * sctpsocket is the root class for SCTP sockets, that ought not be used directly by the users. It does *not* inherit directly from Python standard socket; instead it *contains* a socket. That design was followed mostly because UDP-style sockets can be "peeled off" and return TCP-style sockets. sctpsocket delegates unknown methods to the socket. This ensures that methods like close(), bind(), read(), select() etc. will work as expected. If the real socket is really needed, it can be obtained with sctpsocket.sock(). * As said, "Normal" socket calls like open(), bind(), close() etc. can be used on SCTP sockets because they are delegated to the Python socket. * Users will normally use the sctpsocket_tcp (TCP style) and sctpsocket_udp (UDP style) classes. Some calls that are implemented in sctpsocket but do not make sense in a particular style are rendered invalid in each class (e.g. peeloff() in TCP-style sockets). 2) The "_sctp" module This is the C side of the bindings, that provides the "glue" between Python and the C API. The regular PySCTP user should not need to get into this, but power users and developers may be interested in it. The interface between Python and C is designed to be as simple as possible. In particular, no object is created in C side, just simple types (strings, integers, lists, tuples and dictionaries). The translation to/from complex objects is done entirely in Python. It avoids that _sctp depends on sctp. NOTE: it all has been tested agains lksctp-utils 1.0.1 and kernel 2.6.10, that come with Ubuntu Hoary. Some newer calls like connectx() depend of testing on a newer environment to be implemented. ====================================================================== License This module is licensed under the LGPL license. ====================================================================== Credits Elvis Pfützenreuter <elvis.pfutzenreuter __AT__ indt.org.br> Philippe Langlois <phil __AT__ p1sec.com> Casimiro Daniel NPRI <CasimiroD __AT__ npt.nuwc.navy.mil> - patch for new SCTP_* constants
