// Description
// ~~~~~~~~~~~
// The objective of the TCP proxy server is to act as an intermediary
// in order to 'forward' TCP based connections from external clients
// onto a singular remote server.
// The communication flow in the direction from the client to the proxy
// to the server is called the upstream flow, and the communication flow
// in the direction from the server to the proxy to the client is called
// the downstream flow. Furthermore the up and down stream connections
// are consolidated into a single concept known as a bridge.
// In the event either the downstream or upstream end points disconnect,
// the proxy server will proceed to disconnect the other end point
// and eventually destroy the associated bridge.
//
// The following is a flow and structural diagram depicting the
// various elements (proxy, server and client) and how they connect
// and interact with each other.
//
