/**
 * @class PriorityMapper
 *
 * @brief Encapsulate a TRANSPORT_PRIORITY value.
 *
 * This interface allows a TRANSPORT_PRIORIY value to be mapped to
 * values to use as DiffServ codepoint and thread priority values.
 * Specific implementations of this interface can define specific
 * mapping algorithms for conversion from the basic
 * TRANSPORT_PRIORITY value to the values to use for network and
 * thread prirorities.
 *
 * We take our cue from the RTCORBA code base in defining the types
 * of the priority values mapped to.  RTCORBA defines both the
 * network and thread priority values as shorts.  Since this is well
 * within the expected range of priority values to be mapped to and
 * the short value can be expanded into larger types without
 * complaint, this priority type should be without problem here.
