 *
 * Explaination:
 * If we just write IOStacks directly to ConnectedDescriptors, we may not be
 * able to write the entire message. This can happen if the remote end is slow
 * to ack and data builds up in the kernel socket buffer.
 *
 * This class abstracts the caller from having to deal with this situation. At
 * construction time we specify the maximum number of message bytes we want to
 * buffer. Once the buffer reaches this size subsequent calls to SendMessage
 * will return false.
