Chronicle Maps via a single point to point socket connection.
Chronicle Channels are similar to TCP replication, where each map has to be given a unique identifier, but
when using Chronicle Channels its the channels that are used to identify the map.
The identifier is used to identify the host/server. Each host must be given a unique identifier.
