Actually `Connection' maps a layer 7 protocol as HTTP or FTP, how a
protocols chain can work?

I was thinking to model the problem in another way: now a connection is
scheduled and made available to a thread when there is new data, and
presumably a new request, on its socket.  This works well with TCP but
using SCTP what should be scheduled is not the socket itself but a
stream inside the socket, in other words the same connection can be
scheduled on different threads at the same time, what will be different
is not the connection but its stream.
Some things must be abstracted in the current code to make it working
well both on SCTP and TCP but it was on account :)

Happy Easter Day!
