// This sub-API supports the following functionalities:
//
//  - External protocol support.
//  - Packet timeout notification.
//  - Dead-or-Alive connection observations.
//
// Usage example, omitting error checking:
//
//  using namespace webrtc;
//  VoiceEngine* voe = VoiceEngine::Create();
//  VoEBase* base = VoEBase::GetInterface(voe);
//  VoENetwork* netw  = VoENetwork::GetInterface(voe);
//  base->Init();
//  int ch = base->CreateChannel();
//  ...
//  netw->SetPeriodicDeadOrAliveStatus(ch, true);
//  ...
//  base->DeleteChannel(ch);
//  base->Terminate();
//  base->Release();
//  netw->Release();
//  VoiceEngine::Delete(voe);
