+The Distributed Garbage Collector (DGC). The DGC is reponsible for keeping all
+locally created and exported remote objects as long as they are referenced
+by some remote clients. The client must periodically notify the server that
+it still wants to keep the remote object on the server side. The client
+notifies the server by calling methods, defined in the DGC interface.
+Other classes in this package define the parameters that are used in this
+interface. The DGC object of some host can be found and accessed by its
+object identifier (ObjID.DGC_ID), without involving the name service.
