> Instead of using UUIDs as addresses, the cluster members should agree on shorts, e.g. 1 for A, 2 for B and so on, and use these instead of UUIDs.
> This happens after a certain warmup time. E.g. the coord could assign these IDs, so they're unique.
> IdAddress and UUID have to be able to do equals() or compareTo() with each other !
> Advantage: 
> - we send a short (2 bytes) instead of a UUID (16 bytes)
> - we use an IdAddress (class with a short) instead of a UUID. This is 6 bytes less per instance
> - IdAddress might be faster with equals() and hashCode() than UUID
