/**
 * The gRPC protocol is an RPC protocol on top of HTTP2.
 *
 * While the most common type of RPC receives only one request message and returns only one response
 * message, the protocol also supports RPCs that return multiple individual messages in a streaming
 * fashion, RPCs that accept a stream of request messages, or RPCs with both streaming requests and
 * responses.
 *
 * Conceptually, each gRPC call consists of a bidirectional stream of binary messages, with RPCs of
 * the "non-streaming type" sending only one message in the corresponding direction (the protocol
 * doesn't make any distinction).
 *
 * Each RPC uses a different HTTP2 stream, and thus multiple simultaneous RPCs can be multiplexed
 * transparently on the same TCP connection.
