Proxy

The proxy object represents a connection between a panel (front end) and a module (back end).

The proxy has essentially two implementations:

• Local - direct API calls
• Remote - communication over TCP/IP protocol

• Panel (a view) should never use Module (a service) directly
• The communication should always be done through the current proxy
