`unreachable` from the rest of the cluster. For this we are using an
implementation of [The Phi Accrual Failure Detector](http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~defago/files/pdf/IS_RR_2004_010.pdf) by Hayashibara et al.

An accrual failure detector decouples monitoring and interpretation. That makes

The choice of node to gossip with is random but it is biased to towards nodes that
might not have seen the current state version. During each round of gossip exchange when

The choice of node to gossip with is random but biased towards nodes that might not have seen

This biased selection is a way to speed up the convergence process in the late dissemination
