Hal Finkel started work on an SCTP wrapper for Asio some years ago, but
SCTP does not fit well into Asio, so he never finished it. Hal's
original wrapper has disappeared, but you can find a copy here:

Regarding libusrsctp, I looked into that recently, but it requires
changes to the library and API to be integrated with Asio, or any other
third-party main-loop for that matter (and I do not feel comfortable
about its prevalent use of global variables and #ifdef's.)
