It is really interesting. While reading these docs, one idea struck me. I noticed that there is no example-code being shipped along with the package (other than one server program which is in draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket-14.txt file). I thought that it would be a good idea for me to start with writing these small example code-snippets(programs) and submit them to get those included in the package. The intent behind is that any novice reader who would like to have an example program for many of the features provided by SCTP, then he could make use of these programs in the *Examples* directory. [Also, writing these programs would make my understanding of SCTP stronger.] I don't know if my thinking is in the right direction and helpful to the community. Hence, I request you to share your comments on my thoughts so that I can decide whether to proceed in this direction or not. Please share your comments.
