Public bug reported:

When connecting to a link-local mesh, the software is unable to send any
messages to the computers on the network, except for the svcAnnounce
message. This is caused by each system connecting to each other without
proper messaging coordination. This could possibly be fixed by:

1. Autodetecting which method would be most efficient
2. Entering a mode similar to a "lobby"; in which the system sends out broadcast messages while searching for existing systems running the same service.
3. If no node is found, the system will enter the CONNECTED state without waiting for more peers to connect, and when more peers do connect, they can simply find the local system because it is still broadcasting even while in the CONNECTED state.
