  //         c) call data_received for complete samples

  // The state that we might need to maintain includes:
  //     I) Current Transport layer header
  //    II) Current DataSample header
  //   III) Current DataSample data

  //     i) empty
  //    ii) partial (not able to parse yet).
  //   iii) complete (parsed values available).

  // The read buffers will be a series of data buffers of a fixed size
  // that are each managed by an ACE_Data_Block, each of which is
  // managed by an ACE_Message_Block containing the read and write
  // pointers into the data.
  //
  // As messages are parsed, new ACE_Message_Blocks will be formed with
  // read and write pointers adjusted to reference the individual
  // DataSample buffer contents.
  //
  // The Underlying buffers, ACE_Data_Blocks, and ACE_Message_Blocks
  // will be acquired from a Cached_Allocater_with_overflow.  The size
  // of the individual data buffers will be set initially to the
  // ethernet MTU to allow for full TCP messages to be received into
  // individual blocks.
  //
  // Reading will be performed with a two member struct iov, to allow
  // for the remainder of the current buffer to be used along with at
  // least one completely empty buffer.  There will be a low water
  // parameter used to stop the use of the current block when the
  // available space in it is reduced.
  //

  //
  // Establish the current receive buffer.
  //
  //   This involves checking for any remainder from the previous trip
  //   through the code.  If there is no current buffer, or the buffer
  //   has less than the low water mark space() left, then promote the
  //   next receive buffer to the current.  If none is present, create a
  //   new one and use it.
  //
  //
  // Establish the next receive buffer.
  //
  //   This involves checking for any previous complete buffers that
  //   were not promoted in the previous step.  If none are present,
  //   create a new one and use that.
