SCTP4J - by |pipe|

This is a pure java implementation of the SCTP protocol.
The target usecase is small devices that want to run the webRTC datachannel.

This implementation does not include all the necessary parts for a full 
webRTC stack. You'll need DTLS (we use Bouncy Castle) and ICE/STUN/TURN (you can use Jitsi's ice4j or our slice ).

This implementation assumes that datagrams will arrive from an DTLS/ICE stack
which implements a Datagram Transport. It also assumes a consumer of open SCTP Streams (or datachannels) - it is pure middleware.

Brief note on how to drive it:

Once you have a BouncyCastle DTLS transport open to a WebRTC agent you can:

                    public Association makeAssociation(DTLSTransport trans, AssociationListener li) {
                        a = new ThreadedAssociation(trans, li);
                    }
The associationListener will fire events when an association is made and when inbound dataChannels are created.
                    SCTPStreamListener sl; 
                    // create a streamListener here
                    SCTPStream echo = a.mkStream("echo", sl);
Will create an outbound stream labeled 'echo';

Background:

The stack tries to keep the details of concurrency in a single package, so that the current pure thread model could be replaced with Akka actors or NIO-like async mechanisms.

This implementation works well on small devices (eg Raspberry Pi, C.H.I.P etc)

Thanks to Emil Ivov (@Emcho) for Ice4J and encouragement.

Some context on the long silence, we hurried a release out as opensource at the request of some friends,
in the end they didn't adopt the release, so it got substantially sidelined whilst I worked on the rest of the |pipe| stack.
I've now circled back and am attempting to make this a viable public project. Sorry for the delay.
