Hi,
We have received several requests about porting the SCTP API to JDK6.
This bug aims to amend the current implementation to minimize the
amount of changes required to port it to JDK6.
1) Remove JDK7 API dependences from the implementation
2) provide all native functionality within libsctp.so

Thanks,

If I understand correctly, you're trying to help the folks that want to
take this code and hack on it with jdk6 - is that right? Have you
considered creating a page on the SCTP project with the recipe. Seems
like removing the dependency on SocketOption and AlreadyBoundException
are trivial and maybe there isn't a need to add commented out code. As
the implementation is very tied to the selector implementation then I
assume it's not an issue to keep the dependency on NativeDispatcher.
That would avoid having to duplicate close/preClose at least. Otherwise
looks okay to me.
