C SCTP not available in GENERIC?

[kbw]

socket(PF_INET, SOCK_SEQPACKET, IPPROTO_SCTP) fails with "protocol not available".

The above is from memory, but shouldn't be far off. I'm on the road, so don't have precise details.

I'm running FreeBSD 14.0 with patches last applied early July.

Do I need to load a driver to get sctp now?

You know you can simply check this?

GENERIC « conf « amd64 « sys - src - FreeBSD source tree

cgit.freebsd.org

sctp(4)

 

[kbw]

option. SCTP_SUPPORT # Allow kldload of SCTP

Many thanks for the link. I'm getting rusty

It used to be built into GENERIC.

This documents the move from kernel to modu.

Re: making SCTP loadable and removing it from GENERIC

It contains the quote

SCTP can be loaded at boot by
adding a single line: sctp_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf, or
kld_list="sctp" to /etc/rc.conf
