Please also take into account the overhead you get in that situation.
What you put on the link with SCTP is a lot more than 8000*20 Bytes, if
messages are not bundled, whereas TCP uses 1460 Bytes Payload per packet.

So, you need to compute the absolute link load for SCTP and TCP, and
compare these. Might look a little better for our implementation, which
after all is still a prototype :-)

Best regards,
Andreas
