+* server sends typeServerKey frame: 1 byte typeServerKey + 32 bytes of public key
+* client sends: (with no frameType)
+  - 32 bytes client public key
+  - 24 bytes nonce
+  - be_uint32 length of naclbox (capped at 256k)
+  - that many bytes of naclbox

+* server sends typeServerInfo frame byte + 24 byte nonce + beu32 len + naclbox(json)
+
+Steady state:
+* server occasionally sends typeKeepAlive. (One byte only)
+* client sends typeSendPacket byte + 32 byte dest pub key + beu32 packet len + packet bytes
+* server then sends typeRecvPacket byte + beu32 packet len + packet bytes to recipient conn
