/* Since this file is a tad bit more complex, here is some basic documentation:

1) ASyncPort: There are asynchronous ports which are parts of the standard-
   flowsystem schedule nodes. Their lifetime starts whenever an asynchronous
   stream gets created by the flow system, and ends when the schedule node
   gets destroyed. Basically, an ASyncPort has two functions:

   * it is a "Port", which means that it gets connect(), disconnect() and
     other calls from the flowsystem

   * it is a "GenericDataChannel", which means that DataPackets can interact
     with it

   Although there will be ASyncPorts which only send data and ASyncPorts which
   only receive data (there are none that do both), there are no distinct
   classes for this.

2) Standard case: a DataPacket that gets transported over a datachannel locally:

   1. the user allocates himself a datapacket "packet"
   2. the user calls "packet->send()", which in turn calls
      ASyncPort::sendPacket(packet)
   3. the ASyncPort sends the DataPacket to every subscriber (incrementing the
      useCount) over the NotificationManager
   4. the NotificationManager delivers the DataPackets to the receiver
   5. eventually, the receiver confirms using "packet->processed()"
   6. the packet informs the ASyncPort::processedPacket()
   7. the packet is freed

variant (pulling):

   1. the user gets told by the ASyncPort: produce some data, here is a "packet"
   2. the user calls "packet->send()", which in turn calls
      ASyncPort::sendPacket(packet)
   3. the ASyncPort sends the DataPacket to every subscriber (incrementing the
      useCount) over the NotificationManager
   4. the NotificationManager delivers the DataPackets to the receiver
   5. eventually, the receiver confirms using "packet->processed()"
   6. the packet informs the ASyncPort::processedPacket()
   7. the ASyncPort restarts with 1.

3) Remote case: the remote case follows from the local case by adding two extra
things: one object that converts packets from their packet form to a message
(ASyncNetSend), and one object that converts packets from the message form
to a packet again. Effectively, the sending of a single packet looks like
this, then:

   1-S. the user allocates himself a datapacket "packet"
   2-S. the user calls "packet->send()", which in turn calls
        ASyncPort::sendPacket(packet)
   3-S. the ASyncPort sends the DataPacket to every subscriber (incrementing the
        useCount) over the NotificationManager
   4-S. the NotificationManager delivers the DataPackets to the ASyncNetSend
   5-S. the ASyncNetSend::notify method gets called, which in turn converts
        the packet to a network message
    
	... network transfer ...
   
   6-R. the ASyncNetReceive::receive method gets called - the method creates
        a new data packet, and sends it using the NotificationManager again
   7-R. the NotificationManager delivers the DataPacket to the receiver
   8-R. eventually, the receiver confirms using "packet->processed()"
   9-R. the packet informs the ASyncNetReceive::processedPacket() which
        frees the packet and tells the (remote) sender that it went all right

	... network transfer ...
 
   10-S. eventually, ASyncNetSend::processed() gets called, and confirms
         the packet using "packet->processed()"
   11-S. the packet informs the ASyncPort::processedPacket()
   12-S. the packet is freed

variant(pulling):

   works the same as in the local case by exchanging steps 1-S and 12-S

4) ownership:

   * ASyncPort: is owned by the Object which it is a part of, if the object
   dies, ASyncPort dies unconditionally

   * DataPacket: is owned by the GenericDataChannel they are propagated over,
   that is, the ASyncPort normally - however if the DataPacket is still in
   use (i.e. in state 5 of the local case), it will take responsibility to
   free itself once all processed() calls have been collected

   * ASyncNetSend, ASyncNetReceive: own each other, so that if the sender dies,
   the connection will die as well, and if the receiver dies, the same happens
