+/*\brief Continuously attempt to deliver calls to outbound members
+ *
+ * For each outbound priority level 1-10, find fifo nodes with a
+ * matching priority.  For each of those nodes with outbound members,
+ * run `find_consumers()` if the fifo node has calls needing to be
+ * delivered and not enough ready and waiting inbound consumers.
+ *
+ * In the event of nothing needing to be done, each cycle starts at
+ * priority 1 and ends at priority 10, yielding for one second
+ * afterward.  We also yield after initiating outbound calls, starting
+ * again where we left off on the next node.
+ *
+ * We also take care of cleaning up after nodes queued for deletion.
