PR description

Today QBFT traffic is only gossiped by other validators

A chain configured without direct connectivity between validators won’t produce new blocks

Gossiping between non-validators allows more control over the way nodes are deployed and interconnected

image
  • Provides more flexibility for different Besu node topologies
  • Enables non validators to gossip QBFT messages so that validators peered through non validators can participate in consensus.
  • This would let the edge nodes in a network to be non validators .
  • Code changes
    • Moved Peerconnection tracking and all peer multicast to Peers class
    • Most of file changes are refactoring ValidatorMulticaster to PeerMulticaster
