This directory implements the IFRT proxy client.

Expected behavior when connection to the IFRT proxy server fails

If a connection to the proxy server fails abruptly, any in-progress or further IFRT API calls and Futures are expected to either return valid values (if the value was already fetched from the server and is being cached locally) or an error from rpc_helper.cc's WrapAsConnectionError(). They are expected to neither "hang" beyond the brief period required to determine whether the connection has failed nor crash the process internally within the proxy client library.
