// Protocol implementation details.  Protocols must implement the
// interfaces in this file.  Note that implementing new protocols is
// not necessarily intended to be a trivial task.  The protocol developer
// must understand the nature of nng, as they are responsible for handling
// most of the logic.  The protocol generally does most of the work for
// locking, and calls into the transport's pipe functions to do actual
// work, and the pipe functions generally assume no locking is needed.
// As a consequence, most of the concurrency in nng exists in the protocol
// implementations.
