SCTP is not available on Windows by default, and you need administrative privileges to deploy it. I'm not trying to start an OS war debate, but this is a very practical problem.

Mobile, oddly enough, may be the best route to bring both IPv6 and SCTP to life.

Wouldn't SCTP need to be installed on both the client and the server?

Yes (for adoption) and no (for having server support).

But those are two very different problems ;)

Heh - I didn't think a server side SCTP implementation was very interesting if you don't have clients to use it.
