The SCTP socket API is described in this draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-09.txt
You can find out the status of the different SCTP paths used for an
association, given by their transport addresses. If you want to map these
paths to network interfaces (eth0, eth1, ppp0, lo, etc.), you have to obtain
the interfaces' addresses from the kernel (like ifconfig, for example), and
compare them to the SCTP paths' addresses.


Best regards
