WebRTC Data Channels are implemented on top of the newer DcSCTP library instead of the usrsctp library. The new library is designed to only implement the parts of SCTP that are used by Data Channels in WebRTC and with security as the highest priority. By having a small, modern and well integrated SCTP implementation, it will be possible to provide a better experience for both media and data.

The API currently implemented is not changing as we release the feature as only the low level implementation of the network protocol is replaced. The new implementation has been tested against known working implementations, including the one previously shipping in Chrome and other browsers.
