This is one of those weird questions / issues that comes up every year (more o rless) : there definitely is some place in the code that historically did not support bidirectional protocols, but now does. 

TCP is of course bidirectional, and in the encode/decode pieces, there is absolutely no reason we cannot support both directions.

So I wonder, why this ‘no bidrectional’ thing still hangs around: do we still miss some technical piece? Or just have some out of date documents or no good example of how it actually use it bidirectionally?

Unfortunately it’s not an area I can invest a lot of time, but I feel a small amount of looking into the code would fix this for everyone.

Kind regards,
James
