* When a network event occurs, the connection manager calls the net event
* handler associated with that channel to process the event. There are

* 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
