  35  * framework.
  36  *
  37  * Lightweight encapsulation of addressing information for a
  38  * single acceptor endpoint.  In other words, Endpoint represents
  39  * a single point of contact for the server, and is the smallest
  40  * unit of addressing information necessary for a client to connect
  41  * to a server.
  42  * A Profile contains one or more Endpoints, i.e., knows of
  43  * one or more ways to contact server(s).
