+/**
+ * @defgroup PJLIB_UTIL_STUN STUN and TURN
+ * @ingroup PJLIB_UTIL
+
+ This is the implementation of STUN/TURN in PJLIB-UTIL library.
+
+ The STUN/TURN implementation in PJLIB-UTIL has the following objectives:
+ - standard based (of course)
+ - supports both client and server side STUN/TURN services
+ - independent (that is, only dependent to pjlib), and general purpose
+ enough to be used not only by pjsip applications but also by other
+ types of applications
+ - must be able to support ICE.
+
+ The STUN/TURN implementation is based on the following standards:
+ - <A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-behave-rfc3489bis-05.txt">
+ draft-ietf-behave-rfc3489bis-05.txt</A>
+ - <A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-behave-turn-02.txt">
+ draft-ietf-behave-turn-02.txt</A>
+
+ But as STUN standards are currently defined as work in progress at IETF,
+ the implementation will be updated as these standards are updated.
+
+
+
+ @section stun_org_sec Organization
+
+ The implementation consists of the following components.
+
+ @subsection stun_msg_sec Messaging and Parsing
+
+ The lowest layer of the STUN implementation is the @ref PJLIB_UTIL_STUN_MSG
+ component. This part is responsible for encoding and decoding STUN messages.
+
+ This layer only implements message representation and parsing. In particular,
+ it does not provide any transport functionalities, therefore it can be used
+ by different types of applications.
+
+
+
+ @subsection stun_endpt_sec Endpoint
+
+ The @ref PJLIB_UTIL_STUN_ENDPOINT is used by the library to put together
+ common settings for all STUN objects. For example, the STUN endpoint has a
+ reference of timer heap to poll all STUN timers, reference to ioqueue to
+ poll network events for STUN servers, and some common settings used by
+ various STUN objects.
+
+
+ @subsection stun_clt_tsx_sec Client Transaction
+
+ The @ref PJLIB_UTIL_STUN_TRANSACTION is used to manage outgoing STUN request,
+ for example to retransmit the request and to notify application about the
+ completion of the request.
+
+ The @ref PJLIB_UTIL_STUN_TRANSACTION does not use any networking operations,
+ but instead application must supply the transaction with a callback to
+ be used by the transaction to send outgoing requests. This way the STUN
+ transaction is made more generic and can work with different types of
+ networking codes in application.
+
+
+
+ @subsection stun_srv_sec Server Components
+
+ The @ref PJLIB_UTIL_STUN_SERVER is used for:
+ - implementing STUN servers, and/or
+ - implementing server side STUN handling (for example for ICE).
