Creating and Destroying Endpoints

An Endpoint is the primary abstraction used for interprocess communication. An Endpoint represents one end of a ``phone line.'' More technically and Endpoint represents one end of a byte stream over which data may flow. Creation of an Endpoint proceeds through standard mechanisms. The user does not have to specify their IP, their operating system, or any other such niggling particulars. GAT keeps track of such silliness internally. Destruction of an Endpoint is equally painless.
