I thought of doing this for FreeBSD, but I hadn't the time yet.

There is an hybrid userland/kernel SCTP reference implementation for
FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris done by the RFC authors, at http://www.sctp.org/

If you want to target BSD derived OSes, you should contact the
technical mailing lists related to the projects (http://www.freebsd.org/,
http://www.netbsd.org/, http://www.openbsd.org/). The FreeBSD one is
freebsd-net at freebsd.org.

The 4.4 BSD IP stack is described in two books:

McKusick et alia, The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD
Operating System, Addison Wesley

Wright, Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, vol. 2, Addison-Wesley

hehe, don't know what to answer. As I said before, contact the
technical mailing lists related to the various BSDs.
