I believe SCTP is not yet described in "man 7 ip", but since its
obviously an IP protocol, all things described in this man page should
work.

       IP_RECVTOS (since Linux 2.2)
              If enabled the IP_TOS ancillary message is passed with  incoming  packets.
              It contains a byte which specifies the Type of Service/Precedence field of
              the packet header.  Expects a boolean integer flag.
