type Dispatcher

type Dispatcher interface {
	lifecycle.StartStopper

	// HandleBroadcast handles the incoming broadcast message. The transportation layer semantics is at least once.
	// That said, the handler is likely to receive duplicate messages.
	HandleBroadcast(proto.Message, chan bool)
	// HandleTell handles the incoming tell message. The transportation layer semantics is exact once. The sender is
	// given for the sake of replying the message
	HandleTell(net.Addr, proto.Message, chan bool)
}

Dispatcher is used by peers, handles incoming block and header notifications and relays announcements of new blocks.
