// This program serves as an example for how to write an async RPC service,
// using the request/reply pattern and contexts (nng_ctx(5)).  The server
// allocates a number of contexts up front, which determines the amount of
// parallelism possible.  The callbacks are handled asynchronously, so
// this could be done by threads, or something similar.  For our uses we
// make use of an event driven architecture that we already have available.

// Our demonstration application layer protocol is simple.  The client sends
// a number of milliseconds to wait before responding.  The server just gives
// back an empty reply after waiting that long.

// To run this program, start the server as async_demo <url> -s
// Then connect to it with the client as async_client <url> <msec>.
//
//  For example:
//
//  % ./server tcp://127.0.0.1:5555 &
//  % ./client tcp://127.0.0.1:5555 323
//  Request took 324 milliseconds.

// Parallel is the maximum number of outstanding requests we can handle.
// This is *NOT* the number of threads in use, but instead represents
// outstanding work items.  Select a small number to reduce memory size.
// (Each one of these can be thought of as a request-reply loop.)  Note
// that you will probably run into limitations on the number of open file
// descriptors if you set this too high. (If not for that limit, this could
// be set in the thousands, each context consumes a couple of KB.)

// The server keeps a list of work items, sorted by expiration time,
// so that we can use this to set the timeout to the correct value for
