support for SCTP on netBSD

Hi,
   I have mangaged to support SCTP on Enterprise Linux using
the kernel lksctp 
module. Now I would like to support SCTP on netBSD OS. Have
been reading about 
KAME and in one of netBSD references it is mentioned that
the KAME project is 
closed. When I downloaded the tar file, I could find only
those specific to 
freeBSD OS. Can someone please let me know if KAME is the
right way to go 
ahead with netBSD . Are there any major issues in KAMe stack
as of now and how 
widely is it deployed. Are there any other free SCTP
softwares available for 
SCTP support on netBSD.

Any help is highly appreciated.

 From what I recall, the SCTP code is separate from KAME,
but has a dependency 
upon it or at least some type of IPv6 stack.  You might want
to ping Randall 
Stewart <rrscisco.com> about this, as he was the
primary author of the SCTP 
implementation which went into FreeBSD, and could probably
give you insight on 
what would need to be done for NetBSD....

The ex-KAME code is also in the dragonfly-bsd repository.

Now if anyone knows of a working SCTP for windows ...
