Detailed Description

Definitions and prototypes for the DNX Dispatcher thread.

The purpose of this thread is to dispatch service check jobs to the registered worker nodes for execution. It accomplishes this by accepting work node registrations and then dispatching service check jobs to registered worker nodes using a weighted-round-robin algorithm. The algorithm's weighting is based upon the number of jobs-per-second throughput rating of each worker node.
