   Nodes and Endpoints:
   ---------------------
   A node corresponds to a process and owns a socket. It also has a label which is 
   unique among all other nodes on the network. A node also has a set of application 
   defined 'endpoints'.  Each endpoint has a label and id that is unique among all 
   other endpoints on the same node.  Endpoints on different nodes however may share
   use the same label and id.  Endpoints are used by remote senders to identify 
   a particular receiver which is sharing the node with other receivers.  Endpoints
   are therefore analogous to port numbers on sockets.

   See gt/doc/notes.txt for more discussion of cmRtNet.

        4)  The symbol -=- in the flow chart implies a network transmission.
