First, pick a protocol name for your application. Think of the protocol name as
a port number, just significantly more user-friendly. In this example, we're

Next, have your application open a connection to `127.0.0.1:$SOME_PORT`. This
connection will be forwarded to the service running on `127.0.0.1:$APP_PORT` on
the remote machine. You can test it with netcat:
**On "server" node:**
```sh
> nc -v -l -p $APP_PORT
```
**On "client" node:**
```sh
> nc -v 127.0.0.1 $SOME_PORT
```
You should now see that a connection has been established and be able to
exchange messages between netcat instances.
(note that depending on your netcat version you may need to drop the `-v` flag)
