With changes in socket module now send is async and returns the response from the socket.

send now transport send now process as many consumer sockets as have been created by pushing them onto array and the using promise.all and map to send out together.
Return for one than one is an array of responses.
getPacketByName was added to make it easy to grab just one of those in returned array.
