I think we all agree that we need a TCP interface.

No. In my implementation I think I have shown that you can run your cluster with a much more minimal network-interface.

My current implementation is less than 100 lines of network-facing code (using ICMP payloads, but the same could be achieved with UDP), though that increases to about 300 if you count in the SHA-1 implementation that I am using for verifying customer credentials. So 300 lines is for a complete solution including crypto and accounting/payment.

My nodes answer ARPs and pings, but that is all.
