/**
* You may optionally set a receive filter for the socket.
* A filter can provide several useful features:
*
* 1. Many times udp packets need to be parsed.
* Since the filter can run in its own independent queue, you can parallelize this parsing quite easily.
* The end result is a parallel socket io, datagram parsing, and packet processing.
*
* 2. Many times udp packets are discarded because they are duplicate/unneeded/unsolicited.
* The filter can prevent such packets from arriving at the delegate.
* And because the filter can run in its own independent queue, this doesn't slow down the delegate.
*
* - Since the udp protocol does not guarantee delivery, udp packets may be lost.
* Many protocols built atop udp thus provide various resend/re-request algorithms.
* This sometimes results in duplicate packets arriving.
* A filter may allow you to architect the duplicate detection code to run in parallel to normal processing.
*
* - Since the udp socket may be connectionless, its possible for unsolicited packets to arrive.
* Such packets need to be ignored.
*
* 3. Sometimes traffic shapers are needed to simulate real world environments.
* A filter allows you to write custom code to simulate such environments.
* The ability to code this yourself is especially helpful when your simulated environment
* is more complicated than simple traffic shaping (e.g. simulating a cone port restricted router),
* or the system tools to handle this aren't available (e.g. on a mobile device).
*
* @param data - The packet that was received.
* @param address - The address the data was received from.
* See utilities section for methods to extract info from address.
* @param context - Out parameter you may optionally set, which will then be passed to the delegate method.
* For example, filter block can parse the data and then,
* pass the parsed data to the delegate.
*
* @returns - YES if the received packet should be passed onto the delegate.
* NO if the received packet should be discarded, and not reported to the delegete.
*
* Example:
*
* GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock filter = ^BOOL (NSData *data, NSData *address, id *context) {
*
* MyProtocolMessage *msg = [MyProtocol parseMessage:data];
*
* *context = response;
* return (response != nil);
* };
* [udpSocket setReceiveFilter:filter withQueue:myParsingQueue];

/**
* You may optionally set a send filter for the socket.
* A filter can provide several interesting possibilities:
*
* 1. Optional caching of resolved addresses for domain names.
* The cache could later be consulted, resulting in fewer system calls to getaddrinfo.
*
* 2. Reusable modules of code for bandwidth monitoring.
*
* 3. Sometimes traffic shapers are needed to simulate real world environments.

*
* @param data - The packet that was received.
* @param address - The address the data was received from.
* See utilities section for methods to extract info from address.
* @param tag - The tag that was passed in the send method.
*
* @returns - YES if the packet should actually be sent over the socket.
* NO if the packet should be silently dropped (not sent over the socket).
*
* Regardless of the return value, the delegate will be informed that the packet was successfully sent.

* You MUST set a delegate AND delegate dispatch queue before attempting to
* use the socket, or you will get an error.
*
* The socket queue is optional.
* If you pass NULL, GCDAsyncSocket will automatically create its own socket queue.
* If you choose to provide a socket queue, the socket queue must not be a concurrent queue,

*
* Starting with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and iOS 5, the default IP preference is neutral.

* The theoretical maximum size of any IPv4 UDP packet is UINT16_MAX = 65535.
* The theoretical maximum size of any IPv6 UDP packet is UINT32_MAX = 4294967295.

/**
* GCDAsyncSocket maintains thread safety by using an internal serial dispatch_queue.
* In most cases, the instance creates this queue itself.
* However, to allow for maximum flexibility, the internal queue may be passed in the init method.
* This allows for some advanced options such as controlling socket priority via target queues.
* However, when one begins to use target queues like this, they open the door to some specific deadlock issues.
*
* For example, imagine there are 2 queues:
* dispatch_queue_t socketQueue;
* dispatch_queue_t socketTargetQueue;
*
* If you do this (pseudo-code):
* socketQueue.targetQueue = socketTargetQueue;
*
* Then all socketQueue operations will actually get run on the given socketTargetQueue.
* This is fine and works great in most situations.
* But if you run code directly from within the socketTargetQueue that accesses the socket,
* you could potentially get deadlock. Imagine the following code:
*
* - (BOOL)socketHasSomething
* {
* __block BOOL result = NO;
* dispatch_block_t block = ^{
* result = [self someInternalMethodToBeRunOnlyOnSocketQueue];
* }
* if (is_executing_on_queue(socketQueue))
* block();
* else
* dispatch_sync(socketQueue, block);
*
* return result;
* }
*
* What happens if you call this method from the socketTargetQueue? The result is deadlock.
* This is because the GCD API offers no mechanism to discover a queue's targetQueue.
* Thus we have no idea if our socketQueue is configured with a targetQueue.
* If we had this information, we could easily avoid deadlock.
* But, since these API's are missing or unfeasible, you'll have to explicitly set it.
*
* IF you pass a socketQueue via the init method,
* AND you've configured the passed socketQueue with a targetQueue,
* THEN you should pass the end queue in the target hierarchy.
*
* For example, consider the following queue hierarchy:
* socketQueue -> ipQueue -> moduleQueue
*
* This example demonstrates priority shaping within some server.
* All incoming client connections from the same IP address are executed on the same target queue.
* And all connections for a particular module are executed on the same target queue.
* Thus, the priority of all networking for the entire module can be changed on the fly.
* Additionally, networking traffic from a single IP cannot monopolize the module.
*
* Here's how you would accomplish something like that:
* - (dispatch_queue_t)newSocketQueueForConnectionFromAddress:(NSData *)address onSocket:(GCDAsyncSocket *)sock
* {
* dispatch_queue_t socketQueue = dispatch_queue_create("", NULL);
* dispatch_queue_t ipQueue = [self ipQueueForAddress:address];
*
* dispatch_set_target_queue(socketQueue, ipQueue);
* dispatch_set_target_queue(iqQueue, moduleQueue);
*
* return socketQueue;
* }
* - (void)socket:(GCDAsyncSocket *)sock didAcceptNewSocket:(GCDAsyncSocket *)newSocket
* {
* [clientConnections addObject:newSocket];
* [newSocket markSocketQueueTargetQueue:moduleQueue];
* }
*
* Note: This workaround is ONLY needed if you intend to execute code directly on the ipQueue or moduleQueue.
* This is often NOT the case, as such queues are used solely for execution shaping.

/**
* It's not thread-safe to access certain variables from outside the socket's internal queue.
*
* For example, the socket file descriptor.
* File descriptors are simply integers which reference an index in the per-process file table.
* However, when one requests a new file descriptor (by opening a file or socket),
* the file descriptor returned is guaranteed to be the lowest numbered unused descriptor.
* So if we're not careful, the following could be possible:
*
* - Thread A invokes a method which returns the socket's file descriptor.
* - The socket is closed via the socket's internal queue on thread B.
* - Thread C opens a file, and subsequently receives the file descriptor that was previously the socket's FD.
* - Thread A is now accessing/altering the file instead of the socket.
*
* In addition to this, other variables are not actually objects,
* and thus cannot be retained/released or even autoreleased.
* An example is the sslContext, of type SSLContextRef, which is actually a malloc'd struct.
*
* Although there are internal variables that make it difficult to maintain thread-safety,
* it is important to provide access to these variables
* to ensure this class can be used in a wide array of environments.
* This method helps to accomplish this by invoking the current block on the socket's internal queue.
* The methods below can be invoked from within the block to access
* those generally thread-unsafe internal variables in a thread-safe manner.
* The given block will be invoked synchronously on the socket's internal queue.
*
* If you save references to any protected variables and use them outside the block, you do so at your own peril.

* In other words, this method creates a read & write stream, and invokes:
*
* CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamNetworkServiceType, kCFStreamNetworkServiceTypeVoIP);
* CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamNetworkServiceType, kCFStreamNetworkServiceTypeVoIP);

* NOTE : Apple doesn't currently support backgrounding UDP sockets. (Only TCP for now).
