TCP: add physical address of peer to physical address cache (bypassing discovery)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1240
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1240
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.11


When we use TCP, the physical address information of a peer P connecting to us should always be available !

E.g.currently, if we have A and B, and A wants to send a message to B, but doesn't have B's physical address, if A is connected to B, then we can get that information from the connection map in TCP !

We should therefore add the physical address information for B when B connects to us, or we connect to B !

Issues:

- What if B binds to address 10.1.1.1, but  - when B connects to us (A: 192.16.8.1.5) - its peer address is 192.168.1.3 ? Is this possible at all ? Does the routing table force a different peer address of B: 192.168.x.x rather than 10.1.x.x ?

- Although we might be able to get the physical address of B, we don't get its logical name ! How would we do that, discovery ?
