Channel/Membership: 
    The Membership component is responsible for auto discovering new nodes in the cluster
    and also to provide for notifications for any nodes that have not responded with a heartbeat.
    The default implementation uses multicast.
    In the membership component you configure how your nodes, aka. members, are to be discovered and/or
    divided up.

  Channel/Sender: 
    The Sender component manages all outbound connections and data messages that are sent
    over the network from one node to another.
    This component allows messages to be sent in parallel.
    The default implementation uses TCP client sockets, and socket tuning for outgoing messages are
    configured here.

    messages to a thread pool for faster processing.
    The default implementation uses non-blocking TCP server sockets.

  Channel/Interceptor: 
    The channel will send messages through an interceptor stack. Because of this, you have the ability to
    customize the way messages are sent and received, and even how membership is handled.
