Also my assessment of libusrsctp. UDT v4.0's source code is much 
cleaner.

A long term dream of mine is for ASIO to become the standard event 
dispatch loop for all C++ programs, so other libraries simply hook 
into ASIO's dispatch and everything interoperates cleanly without 
lots of hassle and brittle boilerplate. I also feel a grievance 
against every single library firing up their own thread pools or 
worker threads when ASIO gives you that for free.
