A client program creates a BrokerServerClient object to manage a Broker Server's configuration and to control or monitor a Broker in that Broker Server.

For example, a network monitoring application might create a BrokerServerClient to learn how much swap space is available or the number of Brokers in a Broker Server. A network management application might use a BrokerServerClient to create a Broker on a particular host at 7AM in the morning and destroy it at 7PM at night.
