+ * 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.
