Currently, OpenSAF imposes a limit of max 255 nodes in the same cluster due to 
the use of 8 bits for representing the slot id. However, TIPC supports up to 
4095 nodes on the same network. The proposal is that OpenSAF should also 
support up to 4095 nodes, by using the 4 bits in the subslot id in addition to 
the 8 bits in the slot id. This extension can be made in a backwards compatible 
way without affecting existing installations of OpenSAF.

A proof-of-concept prototype is attached to the ticket.
