[Twisted-Python] Perspective Broker vs AMP

[Andreas Kostyrka]

Well, the client nodes can also be servers.

Alternativly, it's Twisted, so you let your node call in for "work", and
wait till you have work for the node before returning from the method
call. (Hint return a defered, store it in a dictionary (nodeid =>
defered), and when you need node X to do work for you,
nodeid_defered_dict[nodeX].callback("do this work please", id))
