34   * Encodes the requested <a href="https://github.com/google/protobuf">Google
35   * Protocol Buffers</a> {@link Message} and {@link MessageLite} into a
36   * {@link ByteBuf}. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:
37   * <pre>
38   * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ...;
39   *
40   * // Decoders
41   * pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder",
42   *                  new {@link LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4));
43   * pipeline.addLast("protobufDecoder",
44   *                  new {@link ProtobufDecoder}(MyMessage.getDefaultInstance()));
45   *
46   * // Encoder
47   * pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new {@link LengthFieldPrepender}(4));
48   * pipeline.addLast("protobufEncoder", new {@link ProtobufEncoder}());
49   * </pre>
50   * and then you can use a {@code MyMessage} instead of a {@link ByteBuf}
51   * as a message:
52   * <pre>
53   * void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, Object msg) {
54   *     MyMessage req = (MyMessage) msg;
55   *     MyMessage res = MyMessage.newBuilder().setText(
56   *                               "Did you say '" + req.getText() + "'?").build();
57   *     ch.write(res);
58   * }
59   * </pre>
