+/**
+ * VpnService is a base class for applications to extend and build their
+ * own VPN solutions. In general, it creates a virtual network interface,
+ * configures addresses and routing rules, and returns a file descriptor
+ * to the application. Each read from the descriptor retrieves an outgoing
+ * packet which was routed to the interface. Each write to the descriptor
+ * injects an incoming packet just like it was received from the interface.
+ * The interface is running on Internet Protocol (IP), so packets are
+ * always started with IP headers. The application then completes a VPN
+ * connection by processing and exchanging packets with the remote server
+ * over a tunnel.
+ *
+ * <p>Letting applications intercept packets raises huge security concerns.
+ * A VPN application can easily break the network. Besides, two of them may
+ * conflict with each other. The system takes several actions to address
+ * these issues. Here are some key points:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>User action is required to create a VPN connection.</li>
+ * <li>There can be only one VPN connection running at the same time. The
+ * existing interface is deactivated when a new one is created.</li>
+ * <li>A system-managed notification is shown during the lifetime of a
+ * VPN connection.</li>
+ * <li>A system-managed dialog gives the information of the current VPN
+ * connection. It also provides a button to disconnect.</li>
+ * <li>The network is restored automatically when the file descriptor is
+ * closed. It also covers the cases when a VPN application is crashed
+ * or killed by the system.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>There are two primary methods in this class: {@link #prepare} and
+ * {@link Builder#establish}. The former deals with user action and stops
+ * the VPN connection created by another application. The latter creates
+ * a VPN interface using the parameters supplied to the {@link Builder}.
+ * An application must call {@link #prepare} to grant the right to use
+ * other methods in this class, and the right can be revoked at any time.
+ * Here are the general steps to create a VPN connection:
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>When the user press the button to connect, call {@link #prepare}
+ * and launch the returned intent.</li>
+ * <li>When the application becomes prepared, start the service.</li>
+ * <li>Create a tunnel to the remote server and negotiate the network
+ * parameters for the VPN connection.</li>
+ * <li>Supply those parameters to a {@link Builder} and create a VPN
+ * interface by calling {@link Builder#establish}.</li>
+ * <li>Process and exchange packets between the tunnel and the returned
+ * file descriptor.</li>
+ * <li>When {@link #onRevoke} is invoked, close the file descriptor and
+ * shut down the tunnel gracefully.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>Services extended this class need to be declared with appropriate
+ * permission and intent filter. Their access must be secured by
+ * {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_VPN_SERVICE} permission, and
+ * their intent filter must match {@link #SERVICE_INTERFACE} action. Here
+ * is an example of declaring a VPN service in {@code AndroidManifest.xml}:
+ * <pre>
+ * &lt;service android:name=".ExampleVpnService"
+ * android:permission="android.permission.BIND_VPN_SERVICE"&gt;
+ * &lt;intent-filter&gt;
+ * &lt;action android:name="android.net.VpnService"/&gt;
