| The TCPGOSSIP protocol layer retrieves the initial membership (used by the GMS when started
by sending event FIND_INITIAL_MBRS down the stack).
We do this by contacting one or more GossipRouters, which must be running at well-known
addresses:ports. The responses should allow us to determine the coordinator whom we have to
contact, e.g. in case we want to join the group. When we are a server (after having
received the BECOME_SERVER event), we'll respond to TCPGOSSIP requests with a TCPGOSSIP
response. The FIND_INITIAL_MBRS event will eventually be answered with a
FIND_INITIAL_MBRS_OK event up the stack.
