Why
Think of this as a message broker service. It allows you to pass messages to a predetermined reciever. We use this as a lightweight replacement for a signalling server, where both clients have known identities. This saves us from the more complex logic of tracking live clients, and communicating peer 'join' and 'leave' events.
