+/**
+The MInputStream class provides the API to receive data from a connected 
+remote host. They encapsulate the inbound stream of a connected socket. 
+	
+The input socket observer must bind itself to the input stream before using
+any of the other MInputStream functions. The MInputStream::Bind() API is 
+used to do this binding. The input stream does not do its first read until 
+an observer has been bound to it. When done for the first time the input 
+stream moves from the Idle state to the Read state.
+	
+When the input stream is in the Read state, it requests a read from the 
+socket. This moves the input stream into the ReceivedData state and it waits
+for the socket to notify it when it receives any data from the remote host. 
+When the input stream receives the notification it notifies its observer via
+the MInputStreamObserver::ReceivedDataInd() API. The input stream moves into
+the PendingAck state.
+
+The buffer containing the received data remains valid until the observer 
+notifies the input stream that it is no longer needed. The observer can do
+this using the MInputStream::ReceivedDataRes() API. The input stream returns
+to the Read state and issues another read request to the socket.
+
+The input stream can only be re-bound to another observer when it is in the 
+PendingAck state. This does not change the state of the input stream. The 
+new observer is responsible for notifying the input stream when the received 
+data buffer is no longer needed.
+		  
+The MInputSocket::Close() API closes the input stream synchronously. In 
+this case the observer will not be notified. Once the the call completes 
+the input stream is in the Closed state and is no longer valid. This
+synchronous close should be used when an asynchronous shutdown is not 
+appropriate, e.g. when deleting the observer object in error conditions.
+
+Similar to the asynchronous shutdown the corresponding output stream is also 
+shutdown and its observer notified.
