    Is there a reliable way for a process to determine if a TIPC socket address

be able to determine the liveness/reachability of a datagram peer, at least 
roughly, without taking on the complexity of additional messaging (or group 
membership and join/leave tracking).

    Thanks.
It depends on the socket type and state. If it is a connected socket there is a built-in mechanism that will make sure that the peer socket is immediately notified, and the user will receive this notification. The same is the case with group sockets. For DGRAM sockets there is no such mechanism, since it is impossible for TIPC to know which peers need to be supervised.
