And Jean-Noel Moyne said:

Note "server to server". What Jean-Noel was suggesting was not a protocol
to communicate with the clients, but a protocol to communicate between
the various servers that constitute a world cluster.

Since these clusters will be located in a single facility, on a dedicated
switch, the issue of IP filtering do not apply :)
