/**
 * This module is responsible for Gossiping information for the local endpoint. This abstraction
 * maintains the list of live and dead endpoints. Periodically i.e. every 1 second this module
 * chooses a random node and initiates a round of Gossip with it. A round of Gossip involves 3
 * rounds of messaging. For instance if node A wants to initiate a round of Gossip with node B
 * it starts off by sending node B a GossipDigestSynMessage. Node B on receipt of this message
 * sends node A a GossipDigestAckMessage. On receipt of this message node A sends node B a
 * GossipDigestAck2Message which completes a round of Gossip. This module as and when it hears one
 * of the three above mentioned messages updates the Failure Detector with the liveness information.
 * Upon hearing a GossipShutdownMessage, this module will instantly mark the remote node as down in
 * the Failure Detector.
