   Many applications that use SCTP want the ability to "reset" a stream.
   The intention of resetting a stream is to set the numbering sequence
   of the stream back to 'zero' with a corresponding notification to the
   upper layer that this has been performed.  The applications that want
   this feature want it so that they can "re-use" streams for different
   purposes but still utilize the stream sequence number so that the
   application can track the message flows.  Thus, without this feature,
   a new use of an old stream would result in message numbers greater
   than expected unless there is a protocol mechanism to "reset the
   streams back to zero".  This document also includes methods for
   resetting the transport sequence numbers, adding additional streams
   and resetting all stream sequence numbers.
