+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ *    This function is used to add remote receivers in packet stream `stream'
+ *    that has UDP/IP socket stream as the underlaying stream.  This function
+ *    cannot be used with other type of streams.  This returns new packet
+ *    stream context that can be used to send to and receive packets from
+ *    the specified remote IP and remote port, or NULL on error.  The `stream'
+ *    is the actual stream that is used to send and receive the data.
+ *
+ *    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_stream_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.
+ *
+ *    This interface is for connectionless UDP streams.  If it is possible
+ *    to create connected stream it should be done for performance reasons.
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE
+ *
+ *    // Create parent packet stream, it can receive packets from anywhere
+ *    listener = silc_net_udp_connect("0.0.0.0", 500, NULL, 0, schedule);
+ *    parent = silc_packet_stream_create(engine, schedule, listener);
+ *
+ *    ...
+ *    // Received a packet to the parent stream, get the sender information.
+ *    silc_packet_stream_get_sender(parent, &ip, &port);
+ *
+ *    // Create new packet stream for this remote location.
+ *    remote = silc_packet_stream_set_remote(parent, ip, port);
