It seems that we are talking about the same concepts. A group (inside Siemens)
which is using SCTP has developed such an SCTP deamon and a library your ULP
is linking to to provide the seperation.

Currently I'm planing to include this stuff in the next prerelease
scheduled for
release within the next two weeks. But I have to test this stuff before
the release.
I hope this is helpful for you,
Best regards
Michael
