These are heavyweight stateful objects. . * Each 'EndPoint' has an 'EndPointAddress'. . * Connections can be established from one 'EndPoint' to another using the 'EndPointAddress' of the remote end. . * The 'EndPointAddress' can be serialised and sent over the network, where as 'EndPoint's and connections cannot. . * Connections between 'EndPoint's are unidirectional and lightweight. . * Outgoing messages are sent via a 'Connection' object that represents the sending end of the connection. . * Incoming messages for /all/ of the incoming connections on an 'EndPoint' are collected via a shared receive queue. . * In addition to incoming messages, 'EndPoint's are notified of other 'Event's such as new connections or broken connections. . This design was heavily influenced by the design of the Common Communication Interface (). Important design goals are: . * Connections should be lightweight: it should be no problem to create thousands of connections between endpoints. . * Error handling is explicit: every function declares as part of its type which errors it can return (no exceptions are thrown) . * Error handling is "abstract": errors that originate from implementation specific problems (such as "no more sockets" in the TCP implementation) get mapped to generic errors ("insufficient resources") at the Transport level. . This package provides the generic interface only; you will probably also want to install at least one transport implementation (network-transport-*).
