It's not integrated into Dmitris code base so far, Philipp Aeschlimanns
code for negotiating the connection parameters will be integrated first.

The code provides so far the following features:
- Request/Reply
- Publish/Subscribe
- Stream (regular no-pattern-enforced TCP data streams)
- Support for RDMA via Infiniband
- Some rudimentary helper functions for HTTP for some demo use cases (which
must not be used in production)
- The stack exclusively uses Zeromq

The C99 bindings provide the functionalities as discussed with Dmitri at
the Dev Meeting in Madrid.

The REST support is more or less just for testing and demonstration
purposes. I attached a schematic about the use case provide by the 'demo'
makefile target. The other binaries built by `make all` are examples that
demonstrate how to use the stack (and could also be used for unit-tests).

Basically what you will be using — or what is intended to be used — is
defined in:
- include/k_transport.h  // API for C99 functions
- src/core/ktransport.h  // Enums, consts and structs
