INET6 required for SCTP in 7.0?

[Randall Stewart]

Robert/All:

One of  my colleagues has been working on this  in the background.
Its not so much as a design choice that has haunted us for
many years now. The stack originally  was written for KAME and
as morphed over time.. this is just one thing we have not fixed.

Its in process.. I will check with Michael and see what h is status
is on it..

Thanks
