/*
  Syncing is done as udp packets in the multicast domain 224.0.42.N port 9696

  Each tracker should join the multicast group and send its live sync packets
  to that group, using a ttl of 1

  Format of a live sync packet is straight forward and depends on N:

  For N == 23: (simple tracker2tracker sync)
    0x0000 0x04 id of tracker instance
  [ 0x0004 0x14 info_hash
    0x0018 0x04 peer's ipv4 address
    0x001c 0x02 peer's port
    0x0020 0x02 peer flags v1 ( SEEDING = 0x80, COMPLETE = 0x40, STOPPED = 0x20 )
  ]*
 
  For N == 24: (aggregator syncs)
    0x0000 0x04 id of tracker instance
  [ 0x0004 0x14 info_hash
    0x0018 0x01 number of peers
    [ 0x0019 0x04 peer's ipv4 address
      0x001a 0x02 peer's port
      0x0021 0x02 peer flags v1 ( SEEDING = 0x80, COMPLETE = 0x40, STOPPED = 0x20 )
