/*
* This describes the protocol used by the talk server and clients.
*
* The talk server acts a repository of invitations, responding to
* requests by clients wishing to rendezvous for the purpose of
* holding a conversation. In normal operation, a client, the caller,
* initiates a rendezvous by sending a CTL_MSG to the server of
* type LOOK_UP. This causes the server to search its invitation
* tables to check if an invitation currently exists for the caller
* (to speak to the callee specified in the message). If the lookup
* fails, the caller then sends an ANNOUNCE message causing the server
* to broadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting
* contact. When the callee responds, the local server uses the
* recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous
* address and the caller and callee client programs establish a
* stream connection through which the conversation takes place.
