package com.sun.nio.sctp;


A class that represents an SCTP association.

 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.

 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 Dynamic Address Reconfiguration as defined by
RFC5061, see the bindAddress and unbindAddress methods of SctpChannel, SctpServerChannel, and SctpMultiChannel. 
 An Association is returned from an SctpChannel or an SctpMultiChannel, as well as being given as a parameter to 
NotificationHandler methods. 
Since:1.7
