Could you briefly explain what are rpc_listeners used for? Cannot find anything in docs about it...

Thanks, Andi

@as51340 Sorry I missed this question.

The rpc_listener, which is implemented by asio_rpc_listener, acts as servers responsible for processing incoming RPC requests. Typically, the leader is a client that sends out append_entries requests, while the followers serve as listeners, essentially operating as servers.
