Creates a DOFConnection that uses the specified configuration. The connection is associated with the DOF instance that creates it, and only that DOF can route operations through it (see DOF).

This method may be used to create the following types of connections:

• Type.STREAM
• Type.DATAGRAM
• Type.DATAGRAM_STATELESS

This method may not be used to create the following types of connections:

• Type.GROUP . Use DOFServer.createConnection(Config) .
• Type.HUB . Use DOFServer.createConnection(Config) .
• Type.POINT . Use DOFConnection.createConnection(Config)

For more information about these connection types, see Type .

Connections do not connect automatically when created. After creating the connection, call DOFConnection.connect(int) or DOFConnection.beginConnect(int) . To disconnect temporarily, call DOFConnection.disconnect() . Disconnected connections can be reconnected using DOFConnection.connect or DOFConnection.beginConnect. When the DOFConnection instance is no longer needed, it must be destroyed. See DOFConnection.destroy() and destroy() . Destroyed connections cannot be reconnected.

The internal library tracks references to duplicate connections, so this method can safely be called multiple times with the same configuration without consuming extra resources. Such duplicate connections are frequently needed, especially by nodes that create connections dynamically in response to other method calls.
