The current version of the socket API uses CRC32 as default, since the SCTP
checksum algorithm has been changed from Adler32 to CRC32. This is documented
as an Internet Draft, to become RFC some day and replace the definitions of
RFC2960. To set the sctplib to use the old Adler32 checksum, use the function
"sctp_enableCRC32(0)" before creating any SCTP sockets.
Note, that programs using Adler32 can only communicate with Adler32 programs,
CRC32 only with CRC32 programs. Recommendation: Use CRC32, Adler32 is only
necessary to interoperate with out of date SCTP implementations.
