/**
* Socket API for multiple "virtual" sockets to use a single physical socket.
*
* This allows a single "real" socket connection from a client to a server, and then getting many "virtual" socket connections through the
* real socket.
* The virtual socket supports the full socket interface, so it's no different then using a real socket.
*
* The server uses a server socket for allowing client socket "real" connections. The server sets up server sockets and gives them each a
* name. Then the client is able to create new "virtual" socket connections by using the correct server socket name. Everything else is the
* same as using the socket api.
*
* The shared "real" socket from the client to the server uses chunking and throttling to make the sharing fair and even. There is support
* for "compression on the wire" that is configured when a server socket is created.
*
* There is support for SSL/TLS for the real connection or for individual sockets, configured by the server socket.
