Nope - that is two entirely separate projects as La Monte already
said. The Linux-Implementation is in the kernel which is a much
more complex thing. Ours is entirely in user-space, and uses the raw
socket interface. Both are Open Source though !

Well SCTP is a transport protocol, so it essentially does similar
things as TCP. However, there is (not yet) a socket API, so each
implementation has sort of its own API (however most complete
implemetations will adhere more or less to section 10 of RFC 2960)
