What kind of SCTP support is there on various Windows versions?
Windows does not have an SCTP driver.
SCTP is used for applications where monitoring and detection of loss of session is required. The SCTP path or session failure detection mechanism, for example, the heartbeat, monitors the connectivity of the session. Figure 1 illustrates the SCTP 4-way handshake and TCP 3-way handshake.
Out of the box, there are none, on any versions of Windows.(Microsoft has claimed there is no customer demand, so I always encourage anyone looking for SCTP on windows contact Microsoft and express their need for one..)
There are 3rd party implementations, e.g.
sctplib
SctpDrv
