    SCTP in KAME is complete, stable and fully supported.
    It is mainly developed by the SCTP RFC author, Randall Stewart.

    A T/TCP alternative as you are describing sounds very
    similar to PR-SCTP (Partial Reliability SCTP). (Don't let the
    name fool you, please read the internet draft).

    There is at least another kernel-level open source implementation,
    for Linux, plus other user-level implementations.
