## How does it work?
A weave network consists of a number of so-called 'peers' - weave
routers residing on different hosts. Each peer has a name, which tends
to remain the same over restarts, and a unique identifier (UID) which
is different each time it is run. These are opaque identifiers as far
as the router is concerned, although the name defaults to a MAC
address.

Weave routers establish TCP connections to each other, over which they
perform a protocol handshake and subsequently exchange topology
