/**
* Represents a session between the server and a connection manager.<p>
*
* Each Connection Manager has its own domain. Each connection from the same connection manager
* uses a different resource. Unlike any other session, connection manager sessions are not
* present in the routing table. This means that connection managers are not reachable entities.
* In other words, entities cannot send packets to connection managers but clients being hosted
* by them. The main reason behind this design decision is that connection managers are private
* components of the server so they can only be contacted by the server. Connection Manager
* sessions are present in {@link SessionManager} but not in {@link RoutingTable}. Use
* {@link SessionManager#getConnectionMultiplexerSessions(String)} to get all sessions or
* {@link org.jivesoftware.openfire.multiplex.ConnectionMultiplexerManager#getMultiplexerSession(String)}
* to get a random session to a given connection manager.
