/**
 * @class TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP
 *
 * @brief Event Channel Gateway using IIOP.
 *
 * This class mediates among two event channels, it connects as a consumer of
 * events with a remote event channel, and as a supplier of events with the
 * local EC. As a consumer it gives a QoS designed to only accept the events
 * in which *local* consumers are interested. Eventually the local EC should
 * create this object and compute its QoS in an automated manner; but this
 * requires some way to filter out the peers registered as consumers,
 * otherwise we will get loops in the QoS graph.
 * It uses exactly the same set of events in the publications list
 * when connected as a supplier.
 *
 * @note
 * An alternative implementation would be to register with the
 * remote EC as a supplier, and then filter on the remote EC, but
 * one of the objectives is to minimize network traffic.
 * On the other hand the events will be pushed to remote consumers,
 * event though they will be dropped upon receipt (due to the TTL
 * field); IMHO this is another suggestion that the EC needs to know
 * (somehow) which consumers are truly its peers in disguise.
 *
 * @todo: The class makes an extra copy of the events, we need to
 * investigate if closer collaboration with its collocated EC could
 * be used to remove that copy.
