What I would like to see added here is a bit more of a higher-level
overview of the implementation.
It's a *lot* of new code. I am still trying to make my way through it. One
thing that I am currently trying to figure out, and which, if documented,
would be much easier to review, would be: my current understanding is that
this is both transport (ll) driver and a kind-of a bus at the same time.
Could yo please put some more comprehensive overview of the overall
architecture into the documentation?
Thanks,
