    public interface ISocketEvent
    extends Event
    Socket events are emitted by a ISocketEventSource and are delivered to a ISocketListener.

    Beware that the associated source may not be instance currently using the socket. For example a socket may be put into a connection pool after it is used. It is then typically reused by another source. When a socket is closed this is attributed to the source which created it, not which currently or most recently used it.

    This limits the usefulness of these events to cases where the caller can make broader assumptions for example because it wants to close or monitor all sockets in the entire application. The events are also useful for implementing unit tests.

    The ISocketConnectedEvent allows an ISocketListener to wrap the socket.
