## Detailed Description

endpoint reference represent an endpoint address in WS-Addressing. In addition to the endpoint address, it also encapsulates meta data, reference attributes and the service hosted at the given endpoint. In addition to the addressing related implementation, the endpoint reference struct is used across core code-base to represent endpoints.
