/**

 * A class that represents an SCTP association.

 *

 * <P> An association exists between two SCTP endpoints. Each endpoint is

 * represented by a list of transport addresses through which that endpoint can

 * be reached and from which it will originate SCTP messages. The association

 * spans over all of the possible source/destination combinations which may be

 * generated from each endpoint's lists of addresses.

 *

 * <P> Associations are identified by their Association ID.

 * Association ID's are guaranteed to be unique for the lifetime of the

 * association. An association ID may be reused after the association has been

 * shutdown. An association ID is not unique across multiple SCTP channels.

 * An Association's local and remote addresses may change if the SCTP

 * implementation supports <I>Dynamic Address Reconfiguration</I> as defined by

 * <A HREF="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5061">RFC5061</A>, see the

 * {@code bindAddress} and {@code unbindAddress} methods of {@link SctpChannel},

 * {@link SctpServerChannel}, and {@link SctpMultiChannel}.

 *

 * <P> An {@code Association} is returned from an {@link

 * SctpChannel#association SctpChannel} or an {@link

 * SctpMultiChannel#associations SctpMultiChannel}, as well

 * as being given as a parameter to {@link NotificationHandler

 * NotificationHandler} methods.
