What kind of SCTP support is there on various Windows versions?

+1  A: 

From the Wikipedia article:

The following operating systems implement SCTP:

  • AIX Version 5
  • Generic BSD with external patch at KAME project
  • Cisco IOS 12
  • DragonFly BSD since version 1.4
  • FreeBSD, version 7 and above
  • HP-UX, 11i v2 and above
  • Operating systems using Linux kernel 2.4 and newer
  • QNX Neutrino Realtime OS, 6.3.0 and above
  • Sun Solaris 10 and above

Various third-party implementations of SCTP exist for other operating systems. FreeBSD contains the SCTP reference implementation.

Userspace library:

So apparently there is no native support in Windows at all. Only through 3rd-party software or libraries.

What other libraries are available and is there anything available for Vista and Win7?
Robert S. Barnes
Since sctplib is a userspace library it should work without problems on Vista or Windows 7 too. Apart from that, did you try Google already? I hear they return all kinds of fancy results when searching for "windows sctp library".

Out of the box there are none, on any versions of Windows.(Microsoft has claimed there is no customer demand, so I always encourage anyone looking for SCTP on windows contact Microsoft and express their need for one..)

There are 3. party implementations, e.g.

sctplib

Netbricks Sigtran stack

SctpDrv
