Hi Shreedhar,
I have a case where each peer in the group needs to send certain peer-specific
data to every other peer in the group. So when a new peer joins, it broadcasts
its data to the group. Each existing member then sends own data to the new
joinee. I was trying to have a single codepath for both cases, so I needed a way
to avoid a loop where the new joinee then again replies with its data and thus
triggers a loop. It would have been simple if I could extract targetServerToken
from the Message.
Its simple enough to work around, I simply have two message types, one for
broadcasts and one for replies.
