... Aurora Component requests this information by sending requests over the event bus, which are consumed by components assigned to provide answers to those specific requests. After delegated components broadcast a response, the Aurora Component can retrieve it from the event bus, as shown in Figure 3. During system initialization, the Aurora Component will replace the Trinity boot process, which is also capable of populating the peer pool with its discovery mechanism. ...
