- Nameserver holds a sorted list of (hostname, peer, container id, ip) tuples.
- Entries are gossiped using topology gossip / broadcast - only new/updated entries
are propogated as expected.
- Entries for a given peer are removed when the connection to the peer is lost.
- Entries are tombstoned when containers die. Tombstones are kept for 10mins,
as they do not need to survive partition, only gossip propagation delay.
To allow users to forgo compatibility with Weave Net 1.0 in order to
avoid #912, by setting --protocol-min-version=2.
Defaults to --protocol-min-version=1, i.e. compatible but vulnerable.
Hyphenate words, and always expect double dashes for long options. A
small number of options have entirely new names.
In general I have added aliases for the unhyphenated and single-dashed
varieties, and used mflag's deprecation syntax to make it print a
warning when it sees them. I left some abbreviated options
unhyphenated (e.g., `bufsz`), and the TLS options as-is since they
correspond with Docker options.
NB the deprecation wanrings will mostly get printed to container logs,
since mostly the executables are run in containers. The next step is
to emit warnings from the script for the options mentioned in the
script usage message.
As a result it is possible to mix nodes with and without IPAM. Note
that the quorum only involves the former, and hence such mixed
environments will typically require a custom `-initpeercount`.
