ChannelReceiver Interface
The `ChannelSender` interface is the data sender component at the bottom layer, the IO layer (for layers see the javadoc for the `Channel` interface).
The channel sender must support "silent" members, ie, be able to send a message to a member that is not in the membership, but is part of the destination parameter
