A simple tcp-based protocol is one where the client connects to the
server, sends requests and receives replies over the same connection.
Examples: telnet, http, smtp and many others. See the HOWTO for more.
It does not work well when the protocol embeds address information in the
payload (FTP, Java RMI), although there are sometimes workarounds.
