               Implementation details about the TRIP stack
TRIPMsg is the base class for different types of TRIP Messages.All 4 TRIPMsg
types OPEN, KEEPALIVE, UPDATE and NOTIFICATION are supported.
The TRIP message classes that implements different message tyeps are
TRIPOpenMsg
TRIPUpdateMsg
TRIPNotificationMsg
TRIPKeepAliveMsg 

Each Message type has methods to access and set objects that are applicable to 
the message type.

TRIPMsgParser object parses the TRIP message received and creates an 
appropriated TRIPMsg object. 

TRIPTransceiver is the main network interface to send and receive 
any TRIPMsg over a socket. 
When receiving a TRIP message, it decodes the message using TRIPMsgParser and 
creates a message object based on the type of the message. 
It also validates the message and throws TRIPBadDataException if message 
is not valid. 

The Stack Complies with Solaris with (g++ 2.95 and earlier)
