- // In short:
- //
- // - Each transmission is comprised by one fixed-size frame.
- // - Each frame contains a protocol version number.
- // - Each frame contains an application frame type.
- // - Each frame can contain an identifying tag.
- // - Each frame can have application-specific data of up to UINT32_MAX size.
- // - Transactions style messaging can be modeled on top using frame tags.
- // - Lightweight API on top of libdispatch (aka GCD) -- close to the metal.
