Package com.hazelcast.internal.networking Description

Contains the socket connection functionality. So effectively it contains all the networking that is shared between client and server. This package should not contains server/client etc specific behavior. It should remain neutral, so that the networking package remains reusable for all kinds of purposes. E.g. if we want to totally isolate WAN replication, it should be possible without needing to make (many) modifications to this page.
