+ * lowcomms.c
+ *
+ * This is the "low-level" comms layer.
+ *
+ * It is responsible for sending/receiving messages
+ * from other nodes in the cluster.
+ *
+ * Cluster nodes are referred to by their nodeids. nodeids are
+ * simply 32 bit numbers to the locking module - if they need to
+ * be expanded for the cluster infrastructure then that is it's
+ * responsibility. It is this layer's
+ * responsibility to resolve these into IP address or
+ * whatever it needs for inter-node communication.
+ *
+ * The comms level is two kernel threads that deal mainly with
+ * the receiving of messages from other nodes and passing them
+ * up to the mid-level comms layer (which understands the
+ * message format) for execution by the locking core, and
+ * a send thread which does all the setting up of connections
+ * to remote nodes and the sending of data. Threads are not allowed
+ * to send their own data because it may cause them to wait in times
+ * of high load. Also, this way, the sending thread can collect together
+ * messages bound for one node and send them in one block.
+ *
+ * I don't see any problem with the recv thread executing the locking
+ * code on behalf of remote processes as the locking code is
+ * short, efficient and never waits.
