SCTP?

SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a relatively new
transport protocol that has some benefits over TCP in that it's
message-oriented and supports multiple streams. It's major enough to
have deserved several chapters' worth of coverage in the 2004 edition
of "Unix Network Programming", and it's implemented in almost all
other Unix-based operating systems[1], but I can't find any mention of
Mac OS X support.
Does anyone know its status on Mac? Any 3rd party implementations? Any
opinions about the protocol — is it mainstream enough to be worth
using? (One aspect I'm leery of is NAT support; I can imagine that
most NATs wouldn't know what to do with it.)
