+ * @class TAO_Flushing_Strategy
+ *
+ * @brief Define the interface for the flushing strategy, i.e. the
+ *        algorithm that controls how does the ORB flush outgoing
+ *        data.
+ *
+ * Please read the documentation in the TAO_Transport class to find
+ * out more about the design of the outgoing data path.
+ *
+ * Some applications can block the current thread whenever they are
+ * sending out data.  In those cases they can obtain better
+ * performance by blocking in calls to write() than by participating
+ * in the Leader/Followers protocol to shared the ORB Reactor.
+ *
+ * This strategy controls how does the ORB schedule and cancel
+ * reactive I/O, if there is no reactive I/O the strategy is just a
+ * no-op.
