## Overview
|
|
|
|
This package implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol. The provided
|
|
implementation of SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an
|
|
initial block download, keep the chain in sync, and announce new blocks
|
|
connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single sync peer
|
|
that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the longest chain
|
|
the sync peer is aware of.
