| 56 | + C++ Network Library is built upon<ahref="http://www.boost.org/libs/asio/index.html"target="_top">Boost.Asio</a>, |
| 57 | + a high-quality, portable asynchronous I/O library that provides a solid interface |
| 58 | + for C++ network programming. |
| 59 | +</p> |
| 60 | +<p> |
| 61 | + The architecture is driven by the requirement to separate requests and responses |
| 62 | + from the transport mechanism. Additionally, it utilises generic programming |
| 63 | + techniques to make decisions at compile-time, resulting in more efficient and |
| 64 | + stable client code. |
| 65 | +</p> |
| 66 | +<p> |
| 67 | + There are two main features of the architecture which use modern C++ techniques |
| 68 | + to allow extensibility without comprimising efficiency: tags and directives. |
| 69 | + It is these techniques that underpin the design of the message. |
