+
+/// A class that multiplexes multiple virtual channels across a single
+/// underlying transport layer.
+///
+/// This should be connected to another [MultiChannel] on the other end of the
+/// underlying channel. It starts with a single default virtual channel,
+/// accessible via [stream] and [sink]. Additional virtual channels can be
+/// created with [virtualChannel].
+///
+/// When a virtual channel is created by one endpoint, the other must connect to
+/// it before messages may be sent through it. The first endpoint passes its
+/// [VirtualChannel.id] to the second, which then creates a channel from that id
+/// also using [virtualChannel]. For example:
+///
+/// ```dart
+/// // First endpoint
+/// var virtual = multiChannel.virtualChannel();
+/// multiChannel.sink.add({
+///   "channel": virtual.id
+/// });
+///
+/// // Second endpoint
+/// multiChannel.stream.listen((message) {
+///   var virtual = multiChannel.virtualChannel(message["channel"]);
+///   // ...
+/// });
+/// ```
+///
+/// Sending errors across a [MultiChannel] is not supported. Any errors from the
+/// underlying stream will be reported only via the default
+/// [MultiChannel.stream].
+///
+/// Each virtual channel may be closed individually. When all of them are
+/// closed, the underlying [StreamSink] is closed automatically.
+abstract class MultiChannel {

+  ///

+  /// [stream] will close, but other virtual channels will remain open and new
