They aren't really that similar:
             client IP               server IP
MOSH         arbitrary              single fixed
SCTP   multiple pre-arranged    multiple pre-arranged

The power of MOSH is that it doesn't care about the client IP address -
which is good in a roaming environment - especially when the client can
wind up with an arbitrary address.
