 * @class TAO_Connect_Strategy
 *
 * @brief Define the interface for the connect strategy, i.e. the
 *  algorithm that controls how does the ORB establishes remote
 *  connections.
 *
 * The thread that establishes remote connections can either make a
 * blocking or a non-blocking connect. The strategy to wait for the
 * connection completion can also be different.
 *
 * This strategy controls how does the ORB schedules and waits for
 * connection completion.
