A broadcast medium, so that actors in the ensemble can do pubsub style broadcast is a very useful primitive to have.

This can be implemented by writing a broadcast service actor, which is run together with the loader.
Local actors can pubsub through the service actor.

Requirement: We need to add a mechanism to emit connection/disconnection notifications from the actor-server so that we can maintain a peer list in the broadcast service.

Base protocol: we can start with flooding, and we can implement something more intelligent later.
