 * NIC session interface
 *
 * A NIC session corresponds to a network adaptor, which can be used to
 * transmit and receive network packets. Payload is communicated over the
 * packet-stream interface set up between 'Session_client' and
 * 'Session_server'.
 *
 * Even though the methods 'tx', 'tx_channel', 'rx', and 'rx_channel' are
 * specific for the client side of the NIC session interface, they are part of
 * the abstract 'Session' class to enable the client-side use of the NIC
 * interface via a pointer to the abstract 'Session' class. This way, we can
 * transparently co-locate the packet-stream server with the client in same
 * program.
