 Transports are represented by transport IDs and facilitate duplex communication between two `dmsg.Client`s which are connected to a common `dmsg.Server`.
 
 Transport IDs are assigned in such a manner:
-- A `dmsg.Client` manages the assignment of positive transport IDs between itself and each connected `dmsg.Server`. The set of transport IDs will be unique between itself and each `dmsg.Server`.
-- A `dmsg.Server` manages the assignment of negative transport IDs between itself and each connected `dmsg.Client`. The set of transport IDs will be unique between itself and each `dmsg.Client`.
+- A `dmsg.Client` manages the assignment of even transport IDs between itself and each connected `dmsg.Server`. The set of transport IDs will be unique between itself and each `dmsg.Server`.
+- A `dmsg.Server` manages the assignment of odd transport IDs between itself and each connected `dmsg.Client`. The set of transport IDs will be unique between itself and each `dmsg.Client`.
 
 For a given transport:
-- Between the initiating client and the common server - the transport ID is always a positive value.
-- Between the responding client and the common server - the transport ID is always a negative value.
+- Between the initiating client and the common server - the transport ID is always a even value.
+- Between the responding client and the common server - the transport ID is always a odd value.
 
 Hence, a transport in it's entirety, is represented by 2 transport IDs.
