Yes, I had originally thought osm was needed because when I watched an open
bus. I would see continuous traffic after a send. I didn't want to get into
a situation where if one of 4 nodes died the retries to the dead node ate up
the whole bus, but that's NOT what I see. As long as there is 1 good node, a
packet to a non-existent node is not retried.
