/**
* A channel represents a group communication endpoint (like BSD datagram sockets). A client joins a
* group by connecting the channel to a group and leaves it by disconnecting. Messages sent over the
* channel are received by all group members that are connected to the same group (that is, all
* members that have the same group name).
*
*
* The FSM for a channel is roughly as follows: a channel is created (unconnected). The
* channel is connected to a group (connected). Messages can now be sent and received. The
* channel is disconnected from the group (unconnected). The channel could now be connected
* to a different group again. The channel is closed (closed).
*
*
* Only a single sender is allowed to be connected to a channel at a time, but there can be more
* than one channel in an application.
*
*
* Messages can be sent to the group members using the send method and messages can be
* received setting a {@link Receiver} in {@link #setReceiver(Receiver)} and implementing the
* {@link Receiver#receive(Message)} callback.
*
*
* A channel instance is created using the public constructor.
*
* Various degrees of sophistication in message exchange can be achieved using building blocks on
* top of channels; e.g., light-weight groups, synchronous message invocation, or remote method
* calls. Channels are on the same abstraction level as sockets, and should really be simple to use.
* Higher-level abstractions are all built on top of channels.
