If you really need to have multiple instances (processes) of your http
server running on the same host, then u might need to use the sctpd, keeping
the data size restriction (mentioned in previous mail) in mind.

if not, use the sctplib as it is more stable.

So development is only going on with libsctp, or ?
Do you recomend me to change to libsctp or do you believe I can continue
with
