Inconsistent diffusion of messages

[jpraynaud]

Context & versions

On a test Mithril network which operates:

• 2 aggregators (i.e. 2 DMQ nodes with n2c notification)
• 3 signers (i.e. 3 DMQ nodes with n2c submission)

All the DMQ nodes are connected to all the other DMQ nodes.

Actual behavior

Messages are received inconsistently: each aggregator DMQ node is not receiving all the messages sent by the signer DMQ nodes.

Expected behavior

Each DMQ node in the network should receive all the messages sent by all the other DMQ nodes.

This turns out to be a configuration issue. Configuration is confusing, since in the topology file one configures peers which will request signatures from the node, rather than where signatures will be requested from. This will be fixed by #13.

@coot I am still experiencing inconsistency in the messages received by aggregators even though I used the topology you recommended.

Could you re-open this issue until we have identified the origin of the problem?
