 * Listener interface for topology changes. The main events triggering topology changes are nodes entering or leaving the network.

 * Typically, new listeners will receive a custom {@link #onReachableNodesChanged()} callback on subscription that allows them to initialize
 * to the current observed state. From the listener's perspective, the call will contain parameters as if the last observed set of nodes was
 * empty, and all current nodes just became available.
