//     associated with one or more traces/spans. Since there can only be one

//     SpanContext of all operations in the batch.
//  2. Public Endpoint: A SpanContext for an in incoming client request on a
//     public endpoint should be considered untrusted. In such a case, a new
//     trace with its own identity and sampling decision needs to be created,
//     but this new trace needs to be related to the original trace in some
//     form. A Link is used to keep reference to the original SpanContext and
//     track the relationship.
