Link state routing;

- each node sends a packet on a heartbeat
- on recieving a packet, update a link cost calculation (initially up/down only)
- when the cost changes, update a version field
- every heartbeat interval, send link cost details
  - send link cost for every neighbour, they need to know we can still hear them.
- after parsing incoming link details, if anything has changed, mark routes as dirty
