That sounds remarkably like a "presence" service.

No, what it is is a socket call you make that "subscribes" do address
events on the socket. Thus when a peer adds and deletes an
address you get a "notification" message up the socket buffer
telling you that an address was added and one was deleted.

Take a look at the current SCTP sockets document... or for
that matter you can play with the KAME SCTP stack and
write some code, bring up an association and then do some
ifconfig's ...
