/*
All communication amongst peers are multiplexed by "channels".
(Not the same as Go "channels")
To send a message, serialize it into a ByteSlice and send it to each peer.
For best performance, re-use the same immutable ByteSlice to each peer.
You can also use a TypedBytes{} struct for convenience.
You can find all connected and active peers by iterating over ".Peers().List()".
".Broadcast()" is provided for convenience, but by iterating over
the peers manually the caller can decide which subset receives a message.
Inbound messages are received by calling ".Receive()".
The receiver is responsible for decoding the message bytes, which may be preceded
by a single type byte if a TypedBytes{} was used.
The `Switch` handles peer connections and exposes an API to receive incoming messages
on `Reactors`. Each `Reactor` is responsible for handling incoming messages of one
or more `Channels`. So while sending outgoing messages is typically performed on the peer,
incoming messages are received on the reactor.
