Remote Server Context ExampleΒΆ

"""
Although there is a remote server context already in the main library,
it works under the assumption that users would have a server context
of the following form::

    server_context = {
        0x00: client('host1.something.com'),
        0x01: client('host2.something.com'),
        0x02: client('host3.something.com')
    }

This example is how to create a server context where the client is
pointing to the same host, but the requested slave id is used as the
slave for the client::

    server_context = {
        0x00: client('host1.something.com', 0x00),
        0x01: client('host1.something.com', 0x01),
        0x02: client('host1.something.com', 0x02)
    }
