This module provides functionality for a procedure of a node's neighbors discovery by periodically broadcasting and
receiving HELLO service message into/from the network.
The module is responsible for both broadcasting the HELLO messages, as well as for correctly processing the incoming
HELLO messages from the neighbors, updating the corresponding entries in the routing table, and maintaining the list of
currently available neighbors, which includes deleting the expired/non-answering neighbors, and adding the new ones.
