[sctp-dev] API and Prototype Source

[Christopher Hegarty - Sun Microsystems Ireland]

Hi All,

Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone on sctp-dev a Happy New Year.

I just pushed a changeset that contains the SCTP API and prototype 
implementation [1]. I also updated the SCTP project page [2] and 
included an introduction [3] to the source. I hope this will be useful 
for anyone interested in looking at the actual implementation. It also 
gives a rough guide to the repository layout.

There are also some minor changes to the API itself. I tried to remove 
dependencies on new JDK7 API's, as well as cleaning up areas like socket 
options and Exceptions.

I am still not in a position to publish binaries ( fingers crossed that 
this will happen within the next few weeks ), but anyone interested in 
playing with SCTP should be able to build there own with relative ease. 
If you can build OpenJDK then you should have no problems building the 
SCTP repositories. Please let me know your experience with this, good or 
bad!

With any prototype software there will of course be bugs. If you find 
any please email this mailing list or me directly.

Happy playing,
-Chris.
