Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since Kubernetes 1.20, SCTP is marked as a stable feature in Kubernetes link. It's used in telecommunication solutions. We use Photon Linux-esx kernel in Kuberentes host OS. However if we start SCTP applications on PhotonOS, we got error "Failed to listen SCTP. error:protocol not supported".
Describe the solution you'd like
It's best if you can enable some SCTP configs for config-esx_x86_64 and config-esx_aarch64.
- CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_SCTP=y
- CONFIG_IP_SCTP=m
- CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_SCTP=y
Describe alternatives you've considered
No response
Additional context
I'm from the Antrea project https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea . It's a container network solution for Kubernetes. We want to enable SCTP workloads on PhotonOS Linux-esx kernel.

Research direction
Read SPECS/linux/config-esx_x86_64 and SPECS/linux/config-esx_aarch64, then compare their existing networking options with the requested SCTP symbols. Done means both configurations include the requested SCTP support and the change is verified through the repository's kernel configuration process.
