Gabriel took RPC2 and replaced all UDP related parts with SCTP. While
doing so he ended up restructuring RPC2 into a high level transport
protocol independent layer which mostly does the packing/unpacking, and
an underlying transport layer which manages SCTP connections and deals
with sending and receiving the packets. What is missing right now is
the old UDP parts, they would have to be re-implemented in this new
framework.
