> - We have A and B
> - TCPPING for A and B lists A and B as initial_hosts
> - C's config lists only A as initial_hosts
> - When C joins, it 'll ping only A, so it has information about A's physical address in its cache
> - Plus, the discovery response from A also adds information about A to C's cache
> - HOWEVER, C does not have the physical address of B, and B doesn't have the physical address of C !
> --> When C multicasts a message, B will not receive it
> --> When B multicasts a message, C will not receive it
> The reason is that a discovery response from a node N only contains the logical-physical mapping for N, but not for other nodes.
> SOLUTION: introduce property return_entire_cache. By default, this is false, but TCPPING sets it to true. When A gets the discovery request from C, it'll return information about A *and* B. When B wants to send a multicast, it'll skip C though, but on the next MERGE2, it'll get the physical address of C. Retransmission will then make sure C receives B previously dropped multicast
