1) Syntax is kept similar for C methods and Telnet commands.
    e.g. string get( string nodes, string command, string args )
2) Telnet commands synopsis is:  GET|SET [COMMA_SEPARATED_NODE_RANGES|ALL] 
COMMAND [COMMA_SEPARATED_ARGUMENTS]    
    e.g. GET 1-5,6,17-21 LOAD
3) UDP shall be used for GOMD<->GOMD intercommunication
4) TCP shall be used for Telnet communication
5) TCP/UDP replies contain values in the following format: NODE_ID:VALUE.
