/**
* Defines a very small subset of the functionality of a channel,
* essentially only the methods for sending and receiving messages.
* Many building blocks require nothing else than a
* bare-bones facility to send and receive messages; therefore the Transport
* interface was created. It increases the genericness and portability of
* building blocks: being so simple, the Transport interface can easily be
* ported to a different toolkit, without requiring any modifications to
* building blocks.
