Ahh.. I see. But if I don't specify any arguments for these programs, I get
core dump. So I figured that -s was a must "option".

Also, isn't the whole purpose of the demo program is to show how to use the
SCTP library correctly? Shouldn't the echo_server/echo_client contain code
that does a simple translation on the loopback address? Documentation
regarding the loopback address would probably be helpful as well, but I'm
sure that is in the works. :)

Thank you very much for your responses.
