* When a network event occurs, the connection manager calls the net event
* handler associated with that channel to process the event. There are
* only a few handlers (and probably only ever will be): the one that
* accepts new connections, the one that deals with a connection while the
* client is authenticating and the one that processes messages from
* authenticated connections.
*
* <p> Utilising this interface prevents us from having to do a bunch of
* inefficient and ugly comparisons; instead we can simply call through an
* interface method to the proper code.
