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