No that would be the protocol under test implemented by the MINA
application.  Besides this the client needs a simple protocol to send back
it's statistics to the console.  Let's call this the statistics protocol.
This protocol would be very simple like the echo protocol.

The protocol being tested can be custom designed or can be an implementation
of a specified protocol like HTTP, LDAP, FTP etc.

Well you need more than just a filter in the server under test.  This
performance filter will make the MINA server under test into a white box but
we still need statistics coming in from those clients.  The info from he
filter should be correlated with the info from the clients by the console.
