GreenSocket will provide the user with a TLM2.0 compliant socket.

The socket provides the user with a simple yet flexible API that enables:

 - definition which extensions shall be availabe through this socket
 - definition which phases may be used with this socket
 - creation of automatically memory managed transactions

The socket will always be compile time bindable to standard GP sockets and all other GreenSocket based sockets. The actual bindability will be determined at runtime depending on the set of used extensions and phases. The socket offers a simple API that allows the user to react to potential bindability issues. E.g. in case the socket detects that it is bound to a GP socket, but (normally) uses non-ignorable extensions it gives the user the choice to switch to a fallback mode at this time.
