Really, how many SCTP users are there om the wild... maybe one?
It shouldn't be in GENERIC at the very least!
It's used for IP-based telecom backhaul with modern POTS networks and
cell networks. It's far better than TCP at handling the vagaries of
voice routing. Cell carriers like to use IP backhaul instead of private
lines because IP transport is ubiquitous, dirt cheap, and all you need
is a VPN to secure it.
I use SCTP on video systems because it handles 1:N and M:N distribution
systems very well, all I need to do is string UTP or deploy wifi, and,
best of all, I don't have to use multicast.
