ip-multicast is not required in order for shoal to form clusters.
However one of the node must as act as virtual router (more than one
node can take on such role for redundancy and load balancing purposes)
for the cluster which can span the internet, and other cluster members
must point to the virtual node. see JxtaConfigConstants, and
specifically the following properties :
// specifies if this node is a rendezvous seed peer
IS_BOOTSTRAPPING_NODE,
//comma separated list of tcp/http rendezvous seed uri endpoints
VIRTUAL_MULTICAST_URI_LIST
