Vikas,
first you should have a look at some of the general features of SCTP.
The SCTP for Beginners web page might be a good start. (you find
it at http://tdrwww.exp-math.uni-essen.de/pages/forschung/sctp_fb/ )
Then, the SCTPlib comes with a manual, that is available in pdf and
ps format in the manual subdirectory. Have a look at that, maybe.
In the meantime there have been some postings on this list that explain
the usage of our example programs, that demonstrate use of the
API's for our library. And yes, there are two of these: namely the
socket API (described in the draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-0X.txt)
and a callback-API defined by the file "sctp.h").
The subdirectory socket_programs contains programs making use
of the socket API, and the programs subdirectory contains programs
making use of the simpler callback API.
Since future kernel level implementations will support the socket
API, I suggest you look into using that.
Then, of course there is the RFC2960 you might want to read for reference,
or the SCTP book written by Randy Stewart (I think an Addison Wesley book),
one of the authors of the RFC, which nicely explains the protocol.

Hope that helps,

Andreas
