defmodule Object.RobustNetworkTransport do
@moduledoc """
A more robust network transport layer that handles startup failures gracefully.
This module addresses common issues in network startup by:
- Implementing graceful degradation when transport services fail
- Providing fallback mechanisms for connection establishment
- Better error handling and recovery strategies
- Improved process lifecycle management
