 Kernel Connection Multiplexor
------------------------------
+=============================
 
 Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a mechanism that provides a message based
 interface over TCP for generic application protocols. With KCM an application
 can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using
 datagram sockets.
