An Example of Using Tubes in Your Application
Alice wants Bob’s help in editing her report. In Alice’s word processor
she chooses the option to collaboratively edit this document and she is
shown a list of instant-messaging contacts who are enabled for Telepathy
Tubes. She selects Bob's name from the list.
The application requests an appropriate Tube channel from the Connection
Manager. This channel is received and dispatched by Telepathy on Bob's
computer. He is asked if he wishes to collaborate with Alice.
Bob accepts the channel. The Telepathy Connection Managers set up the
best data stream from the available options given the type of network and
the communications protocol.
