Description:

def assemble_buffer(self, buf_header, buf_payload):
        ''' Add a buffer header and payload that we read from the socket.

        This differs from add_buffer() because we're validating vs.
        the header's num_buffers, instead of filling in the header.

        Args:
            buf_header (``JSON``) : a buffer header
            buf_payload (``JSON`` or bytes) : a buffer payload

        Returns:
            None

        Raises:
            ProtocolError
        '''
        if self.header.get('num_buffers', 0) <= len(self._buffers):
            raise ProtocolError("too many buffers received expecting " + str(self.header['num_buffers']))
        self._buffers.append((buf_header, buf_payload))
