 * @class TAO_Wait_On_Leader_Follower
 *
 * @brief Wait according to the Leader-Follower model. Leader does the
 * event loop of the Reactor and the Followers wait on the
 * condition variable.
 *
 * This implementation is to work with the Muxed Transport
 * Mechanism. Here the state variables such as <Condition
 * Variable> etc cannot be kept in the Wait Strategy, since the
 * Wait Strategy is per Transport object and here the Transport
 * is Muxed and hence there are multiple threads running in the
 * same Transport context.
