public interface ProtocolEndpoint
Defines an end-point for a custom protocol. An end-point for a protocol is a
data structure or an active object that performs the horizontal mediation
between the input and the output stream, and the vertical mediation between
the client that uses it and the underlying protocols. The concept represented
by this class is very similar to or it is a more general abstraction of the
concept represented by a TCP socket, that is an end-point for the TCP
protocol.
