# Communication

### Purpose
This module defines communication operation outcomes and a callback contract for reporting communication status. It provides a standardized enumeration for tracking the success, failure, or timeout states of connect, disconnect, send, and receive operations, enabling consistent error handling and status reporting across the communication layer.

### Public Interface

**`CommunicationConstantsAndEnums`** (static class)
- Contains all communication-related enums and delegates.

**`CommunicationResult`** (enum)
- `ConnectOK` - Connection succeeded
- `ConnectFailed` - Connection attempt failed
- `ConnectTimeout` - Connection attempt timed out
- `DisconnectOK` - Disconnection succeeded
- `DisconnectFailed` - Disconnection attempt failed
- `DisconnectTimeout` - Disconnection attempt timed out
- `SendOK` - Send operation succeeded
- `SendFailed` - Send operation failed
- `SendTimeout` - Send operation timed out
- `ReceiveOK` - Receive operation succeeded
- `ReceiveFailed` - Receive operation failed
- `ReceiveTimeout` - Receive operation timed out
- `Canceled` - Operation was canceled

**`CommunicationCallback`** (delegate)
- Signature: `delegate bool CommunicationCallback(ICommunicationReport report)`
- Accepts an `ICommunicationReport` instance and returns a boolean result.

### Invariants
- The `CommunicationResult` enum values are implicitly ordered as defined; no explicit integer values are assigned.
- Each operation type (Connect, Disconnect, Send, Receive) has exactly three outcome variants: OK, Failed, and Timeout, plus a global `Canceled` state.

### Dependencies
- **Depends on**: `DTS.Common.Interface.Communication.ICommunicationReport` (used in delegate signature)
- **Depended on by**: Not determinable from source alone

### Gotchas
- None identified from source alone.
