// This file defines the structure for the protocol which is a msgp encoded ( which is standard)
// msgp  would cause an easy rewrite of p2p layer even in c, ruby or rust etc as future may demand
// the protocol is length prefixed msgp payload
// though we can http2 stream features,  they may become compilcated as the project evolve
// the prefix length is 4 bytes, little endian encoded ( so a frame can be 4GB in size)

//import "net"

// the protocol is completely asyncronous, except for first handshake, so the node remain undetectable to external network scans, the detection cost is to atleast send a handshake packet*/

// used to parse incoming packet for for command , so as a repective command command could be triggered
