I think that the SCTP BSD *implementation* has pluggable congestion control (because Lawrence Stewart added that for TCP and SCTP benefits as a side effect.) I don't think the SCTP *spec* has support for pluggable congestion control. AFAIK only the DCCP spec has pluggable congestion control.

(And note that I personally have no strong feelings about SCTP vs. DCCP for rtcweb. I just want to make sure that we have all the facts when we decide.)
