AddPeer is called by the eth protocol instance running on the peer after
the status message has been received with total difficulty and current block hash
Called a second time with the same peer id , it is used to update chain info for a peer . This is used when a new ( mined ) block message is received .
RemovePeer needs to be called when the peer disconnects .
Peer info is currently not persisted across disconnects ( or sessions )

AddBlockHashes
Entry point for eth protocol to add block hashes received via BlockHashesMsg
only hashes from the best peer are handled
initiates further hash requests until a known parent is reached ( unless cancelled by a peerSwitch event , i . e . , when a better peer becomes best peer )
launches all block request processes on each chain section
the first argument is an iterator function . Using this block hashes are decoded from the rlp message payload on demand . As a result , AddBlockHashes needs to run synchronously for one peer since the message is discarded if the caller thread returns .

AddBlock is the entry point for the eth protocol to call when blockMsg is received .
It has a strict interpretation of the protocol in that if the block received has not been requested , it results in an error
At the same time it is opportunistic in that if a requested block may be provided by any peer .
The received block is checked for PoW . Only the first PoW - valid block for a hash is considered legit .
