+/**
+ * A selectable channel for message-oriented connected SCTP sockets.
+ *
+ * <P> An SCTP channel can only control one SCTP association.
+ * An {@code SCTPChannel} is created by invoking one of the
+ * {@link #open open} methods of this class. A newly-created channel is open but
+ * not yet connected, that is, there is no association setup with a remote peer.
+ * An attempt to invoke an I/O operation upon an unconnected
+ * channel will cause a {@link java.nio.channels.NotYetConnectedException} to be
+ * thrown. An association can be setup by connecting the channel using one of
+ * its {@link #connect connect} methods. Once connected, the channel remains
+ * connected until it is closed. Whether or not a channel is connected may be
+ * determined by invoking {@link #getRemoteAddresses getRemoteAddresses}.
+ *
+ * <p> SCTP channels support <i>non-blocking connection:</i>&nbsp;A
+ * channel may be created and the process of establishing the link to
+ * the remote socket may be initiated via the {@link #connect connect} method
+ * for later completion by the {@link #finishConnect finishConnect} method.
+ * Whether or not a connection operation is in progress may be determined by
+ * invoking the {@link #isConnectionPending isConnectionPending} method.
+ *
+ * <p> Socket options are configured using the
+ * {@link #setOption(SctpSocketOption,Object) setOption} method. An SCTP
+ * channel support the following options:

+ * reading and at most one thread may be writing at any given time. The
