Protocol flow:

Login:
* client connects
* server sends frameServerKey
* client sends frameClientInfo
* server sends frameServerInfo

Steady state:
* server occasionally sends frameKeepAlive (or framePing)
* client responds to any framePing with a framePong
* client sends frameSendPacket
* server then sends frameRecvPacket to recipient
