Yep.. you subscribe for a notification event and SCTP will
return you the data that was not sent.

So not only does it let you know you can actually let
SCTP hold and return the data that did not get
acknowledged.. The API also has a context so you
can attach a user defined 32 bit value to the
data.. to say bind a pointer to an object to
the actual data... for lookup or other stuff :-)
