 * When the Java node will be connecting to a remote Erlang, Java or C node, it
 * must first identify itself as a node by creating an instance of this class,
 * after which it may connect to the remote node.
 *

 * When you create an instance of this class, it will bind a socket to a port so
 * that incoming connections can be accepted. However the port number will not
 * be made available to other nodes wishing to connect until you explicitely
 * register with the port mapper daemon by calling {@link #publishPort()}.
