Tries to determine the local IP address with which we will connect //! to the DIM dns. //! //! The local IP address is necessary because in some circumstances //! Dim needs the IP address of the connecting machine (DIM_HOST_NODE) //! for the clients to correctly connect to them. So what we would //! need is the IP address over which the machine is reachable from //! the client. Unfortunately, we have no access to the client //! connection, hence, we have to find the best guess of an address //! which is not our own machine and hope it is routed over the //! standard ethernet interface over which other clients will connect. //! //! To not send random packages over the network we use a local //! IP address. To make sure it is something which leaves the network //! card and is not just our machine, we can use a broadcast address. //!
