Peer Connection Monitor

The pcm is responsible for monitoring a set of server sockets, where connections can be accepted. It consists of one thread that performs the following tasks until it is explicitly terminated:

  1. Wait until connections arrive
  2. Tell the pm for the appropriate protocol to add the connection

The pcm is also responsible for maintaining registrations on what port numbers to monitor and what pm to use for each port number.
