[Spread-users] Spread source overview

[Yair Amir]

Hi Joshua,

Pretty accurate description. I added a bit to it in a few places below.

Daemon layers from highest to lowest:

- Session = session.c + groups.c
- Protocol = protocol.c + membership.c + flow_control.c
- Network  = network.c
- Data link = data_link.c

	Enjoy,

	:) Yair.

  groups.c        process group membership state machine, extended virtual synchrony (group level),
                  and notification.

  membership.c    daemon membership state machine, extended virtual synchrony (daemon level), 
                  and notification.

  network.c       inter-segment routing and dissemination.

  protocol.c      robust implementation of the Totem ring protocol, extended virtual synchrony (daemon level)
