+This directory is for managing the protocol-api library that will
+be used for protocol integration with the next generation networking
+libraries.  The API is designed with the following constraints in
+mind:
+
+* It must support asynchronous IO without forcing any particular
+  algorithm for asynchronous IO.
+
+* It must allow the protocol provider to be implemented without
+  intimate knowlege of the networking layer.
+
+* It must allow the networking layer to be implemented without
+  intimate knowlege of any protocol providers.
+
+
+IMPORTANT:
+
+This is not for the current release of the Directory project.
+This API and the new networking libraries will be incorprated
+when they are ready.  This is part of a concerted effort to
+ensure that the project structure in the Directory project
+is structured properly.
