public interface NetworkConnectionInterceptor {
  // Called when a {@link Socket} is accepted by a {@link ServerSocket}
  boolean onAccept(Socket acceptedSocket);

• apply to server to server channels
• apply to JMX connections. Given the dependencies between modules, it will be necessary to use reflection to invoke the interceptors
• proper error handling, in particular when an interceptor invocation raises an exception, and when it gets stuck forever (e.g. on network I/O operations)

It would make sense for AbstractNetworkConnectionInterceptor to keep the Socket overloads abstract and just implement the SocketChannel overloads with onX(channel.socket()), rather than having both sets of methods call new IS/OS methods.
