class NegoProtocol (Listenable[ProtocolEvent]):
        '''
        Abstract interface to all negotiation protocols, both single session and
        tournaments. Generally a protocol handles events on the provided connections
        according to the rules set by the protocol. The rules are explained by
        {@link #getDescription()}. A protocol reports the progress through its
        {@link Listenable} interface. <br>
        <h2>General information</h2>
        
        A protocol is mutable because the incoming connections cause state changes.
        But it is recommended to push changing properties into the state so that the
        complete state can be recovered and analysed.
        <p>
        Because a protocol contains an internal state, it can be used only once.
        <p>
        The protocol can emit a {@link CurrentState} event at any time. It should do
        so at least once, to log the final outcome of the nego.
        <p>
        
        Normally the constructor will receive a {@link ConnectionFactory} through
        which it can resolve received {@link Reference}s. <br>
        First call to instances <b>must be</b>
        {@link #start(ProtocolToPartyConnFactory)}.
        
        <h2>Ensure time deadline</h2>
        
        The protocol also needs to keep an eye on the deadline and take appropriate
        actions when the deadline is reached. <br>
        <p>
        All protocol implementations must ensure that the deadline is kept and that
        the session ends at the agreed time {@link Deadline#getDuration()}. This is
        to ensure that the negotiation ends and resources are freed up at or before
        some known time.

        def start(self, connectionfactory:ProtocolToPartyConnFactory):
                '''
                Start the protocol: make connection with parties and follow the protocol.
                This must be called once and should be the first call after construction.
                <p>
                
                The protocol implementation should not start any real work (eg making
                connections) before this point. That also allows us to construct protocol
                instances just to fetch the description.
                <p>
                
                All errors are to be handled through {@link SessionState#getResult()}
                except for bugs that use {@link RuntimeException} like
                {@link IllegalArgumentException}s. <br>
                The protocol usually uses the incoming connections to keep running. It
                does not need to run in a separate thread or so.

                                        {@link Reference}s in the settings
