** [tickets:#2610] dtm: Propagate peer IP addresses dynamically**
**Status:** assigned
**Milestone:** 5.19.03

When using unicast, the initial list of IP addresses may be become out of date
when new peers are added. We can dynamically update the list of peer IP
addresses using several mechanisms. The newly detected addresses should at
least be stored in RAM inside osafdtmd, but can possibly also be written down
to disk on persistent storage so that they are remembered after a restart of
OpenSAF or even after a complete node reboot. The mechanism to detect new
addresses include:
* Look at the source IP address of incoming TCP connections and check if it is
a known or unknown (new) source
* Use some form of protocol (e.g. a gossip protocol) to exchange peer IP
addresses between nodes that are connected with each other.
We probably also need some mechanism to purge the list of peers, when an
auto-detected IP has not been in used for a period of time.
