Asynchronously opens a logical duplex link between two Transport entities over a network. It could be backed with a real transport layer connection (TCP), socketless connections provided over datagram protocols (UDP), and more. This call returns a Task of an AssociationHandle. A faulted Task indicates that the association attempt was unsuccessful. If the exception is InvalidAssociationException then the association request was invalid and it's impossible to recover.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

This method allows upper layers to send management commands to the transport. It is the responsibility of the sender to send appropriate commands to different transport implementations. Unknown commands will be ignored.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Shuts down the transport layer and releases all of the corresponding resources. Shutdown is asynchronous and is signaled by the result of the returned Task. The transport SHOULD try flushing pending writes before becoming completely closed.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

TBD

Matches the specified target.

Matches the specified target and return a result of target processing.
