Ufff, I think this solution would be a bit messy... We would have  
iksernel (C library) processing packets and sending them to Smack (a  
Java library) or libjingle (a C++ library), and all these things  
interacting with an upper level in Objective-C? It seems a bit messy,  
honestly...

BTW, does anybody knows about any ICE library?
