I doubt very much that you will be able to get LKSCTP to work in the
eCos TCP/IP stack. The eCos stack is based on FreeBSD, which is a
completely different implementation to the Linux stack.

There would also be licensing issues to consider.

While there are some SCTP patches for the FreeBSD stack, they are for
more recent versions that we have.

Your best approach would be to find a user-space SCTP implementation,
and port that to eCos.
