+/// A PeerManager manages a set of peers, described by their [`SocketDescriptor`] and marshalls
+/// socket events into messages which it passes on to its [`MessageHandler`].
+///
+/// Locks are taken internally, so you must never assume that reentrancy from a
+/// [`SocketDescriptor`] call back into [`PeerManager`] methods will not deadlock.
+///
+/// Calls to [`read_event`] will decode relevant messages and pass them to the
+/// [`ChannelMessageHandler`], likely doing message processing in-line. Thus, the primary form of
+/// parallelism in Rust-Lightning is in calls to [`read_event`]. Note, however, that calls to any
+/// [`PeerManager`] functions related to the same connection must occur only in serial, making new
+/// calls only after previous ones have returned.
