c:\Windows\
        \system32
           \sctpsp.dll             (Dll for sctpDrv)
           \sctpmon.dll            (Dll for netsh)

Use of SCTP:
In order to use SCTP, you have to append the directory of ws2sctp.h into the
Include Path of your compiler and link sctpsp.lib into your application.

In the case of Visual C++ compiler,
prompt>cl /D__Windows__ /I "c:\Program Files\SctpDriver\inc" echo_client.c \
       ws2_32.lib "c:\Program Files\sctpDrv\lib\sctpsp.lib"


Limitations and knonw bugs:
 - On XP, updating route information may be slow.
