The Connection object represents a connection to an OpenTok session. Each client that connects
to a session has a unique connection, with a unique connection ID (represented by the
id property of the Connection object for the client).
The Session object has a connection property that is a Connection object.
It represents the local client's connection. (A client only has a connection once the
client has successfully called the connect() method of the Session
object.)
The Session object dispatches a connectionCreated event when each client (including
your own) connects to a session (and for clients that are present in the session when you
connect). The connectionCreated event object has a connection
property, which is a Connection object corresponding to the client the event pertains to.
The Stream object has a connection property that is a Connection object.
It represents the connection of the client that is publishing the stream.
