Note: This repository is a part of Kraken Framework, but can be used freely as standalone library. If you are interested in more asynchronous components for PHP, check out the rest of [Kraken repository][5] or see our asynchronous application skeleton example., _(*2)

Description

Channel is an event-based component that allows sending and receiving messsages asynchronously. It provides abstraction for various IPC models and is designed to be used in multi-threaded, multi-processed systems. It provides complex routing mechanisms, protocols, message encoders and extends behaviour of decorated IPC models by implementing hearbeat mechanisms, reconnect mechanisms and allowing usage of both async and request-reply messaging patterns., _(*3)
