-=== Connection up and down messages
+=== Waiting for the connection to be established
When Gun successfully connects to the server, it sends a
`gun_up` message with the protocol that has been selected
for the connection.
+Gun provides the functions `gun:await_up/{1,2,3}` that wait
+for the `gun_up` message. They can optionally take a monitor
+reference and/or timeout value. If no monitor is provided,
+one will be created for the duration of the function call.

+=== Handling connection loss

When the connection is lost, Gun will send a `gun_down`
message indicating the current protocol, the reason the
connection was lost and two list of stream references.
