Multiplexing.

Multiplexing is needed to lower the load on the client and server by reducing the amount of requests. Multiplexer is a layer where messages are accumulated and dispatched periodically. Client and server should add messages to multiplexer instead of directly sending messages. When multiplexer emitts "drain", messages can be sent.

Options schema.

Multiplexer implements:

• add add a message.
• get get all messages.
• reset forget all messages.
• destroy stop periodical emiting, remove listeners.

Multiplexer will periodically:

• empty messages store
• emit drain event with messages as an argument, when duration is over and there are messages to be send.
