+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * The SILC secure binary packet protocol interface, provides interface for
+ * sending and receiving SILC packets. The interface provides a packet
+ * engine, that can be used to receive packets from packet streams, and
+ * routines for sending all kinds of SILC packets.
+ *
+ * The packet engine and packet stream are thread safe. They can be safely
+ * used in multi threaded environment.

+ *
+ * This function is used to add remote receivers in packet stream `stream'

+ * stream context that can be used to send to and receive packets from

+ *
+ * When the parent `stream' receives packets from remote IP address
+ * and port that does not have its own remote packet stream, it returns
+ * the packet to the packet callback set for `stream'. The sender's
+ * IP address and port can then be retrieved by using the
+ * silc_packet_get_sender function and to create new packet stream by
+ * calling this function. After that, all packets from that IP address
+ * and port will be received by the new packet stream.
+ *
+ * If the `packet' is non-NULL it will be injected into the new packet

+ * If the `blocking_mode' mode is TRUE then the silc_stream_read and
