/**
 * Protocol Session represents the finite state machine in underlying protocol, including timers and its purpose is to
 * create a connection between server and client. Session is automatically started, when TCP connection is created, but
 * can be stopped manually. If the session is up, it has to redirect messages to/from user. Handles also malformed
 * messages and unknown requests.
 *
 * This interface should be implemented by a final class representing a protocol specific session.
