Fabric节点发现与成员管理流程如下图所示:
2. 网络连接层次的节点成员管理(在线,掉线)
在线节点(Peer)通过持续不断地广播“活着”的消息,来表明他们的可用性。
这一部分相当于心跳检测,如果节点离线,就在channel成员列表中删除节点。

/* PullEngine is an object that performs pull-based gossip, and maintains an internal state of items
identified by string numbers.
The protocol is as follows:
1) The Initiator sends a Hello message with a specific NONCE to a set of remote peers.
2) Each remote peer responds with a digest of its messages and returns that NONCE.
3) The initiator checks the validity of the NONCEs received, aggregates the digests,
and crafts a request containing specific item ids it wants to receive from each remote peer and then
sends each request to its corresponding peer.
4) Each peer sends back the response containing the items requested, if it still holds them and the NONCE.
Other peer Initiator
O <-------- Hello <NONCE> ------------------------- O
/|\ --------- Digest <[3,5,8, 10...], NONCE> --------> /|\
| <-------- Request <[3,8], NONCE> ----------------- |
/ \ --------- Response <[item3, item8], NONCE>-------> / \
