Yes, so it has to be part of the REQ pattern, if/when the protocol
does socket validation.

CARRIER or a DISTRIBUTOR may be ?  The fact is a two-way sockets make it quite difficult to find the right term. COLLECTOR could be interesting too (like the ones that send you bills and expected you to reply quickly...)

Finding good names is really hard. We can always cheat and use a
nonsense name like YREQ.
