Connected UDP...

["Trustin Lee (이희승)"]

Hi Martin,

You need to implement a new transport instead of modifying the existing
UDP transport.  Unfortunately, there is no handy guide for implementing
a new transport.  I would suggest you to begin from choosing and forking
an existing transport.  I would begin from the TCP transport because you
want something connection-oriented.  You will end up with removing a lot
of unnecessary code later though.  It will be helpful to keep referring
to the existing UDP transport code from time to time so that you don't
remove what's required for a transport to function though. :)

It's always an interesting experience to see someone tries to implement
a new transport on top of the abstract API I've created.  Please keep us
posted about your progress.  I'd like to give as much advise as I can.

Cheers,
Martin
