Deprecation Notice

When you start the application with an actual config file, you'll get the following notice:

Notice: This p2p gateway prototype has been superceded by the p4p.gw gateway
        which has exciting new features including granular access control,
        and status PVs including bandwidth usage reports.
        p2p is considered deprecated by its author, and will receive
        minimal maintainance effort going forward.
        Users are encouraged to migrate to p4p.gw.
