/**
 * Interface for opening {@link OperatedClientConnection connections}.
 * This interface encapsulates the logic to create sockets and to
 * open or update the connection with the new socket.
 * Implementations will most likely make use of
 * {@link SocketFactory socket factories}.
 * <br/>
 * The methods in this interface allow the creation of plain and layered
 * sockets. Creating a tunnelled connection through a proxy, however,
 * is not within the scope of the operator.
