15// Package transport defines various transports that can be used with
16// RemoteReporter to send spans out of process. Transport is responsible
17// for serializing the spans into a specific format suitable for sending
18// to the tracing backend. Examples may include Thrift over UDP, Thrift
19// or JSON over HTTP, Thrift over Kafka, etc.
20//
21// Implementations are NOT required to be thread-safe; the RemoteReporter
22// is expected to only call methods on the Transport from the same go-routine.
