For example mobile clients where the whole execution space is pretty tightly controlled. This might vastly improve the mobile user's experience while not requiring a wide roll out to have significant impact. Might also use a different port so client discovery via a simple probe would be sufficient. Not overly burdensom on any modern client platform to remember whether a given server supports SCTP ... at least over the next hour or two. Dave Morris
