Name	Type	Description
MessageDispatcher	simple module	This module connects multiple applications, protocols and interfaces with each other and automatically dispatches messages and packets between them. It allows many different configurations from layered architectures where message dispatchers separate different communication layers to centralized architectures where a single message dispatcher is connected to all components.

// This module connects multiple applications, protocols and interfaces with
// each other and automatically dispatches messages and packets between them.
// It allows many different configurations from layered architectures where
// message dispatchers separate different communication layers to centralized
// architectures where a single message dispatcher is connected to all components.
//
// Configuring the dispatch mechanism:
//  - protocols must register by calling registerService and/or registerProtocol
//  - interfaces must register by calling registerInterface
//  - sockets must register by sending socket messages
//  - packets must have tags attached which specifie the destination protocol, interface or socket
