 Each Peer (a computer running rippled) on the Ripple network requires a certain
 number of connections to other peers. These connections form an "overlay
 network." When a new peer wants to join the network, they need a robust source

+The process of obtaining the initial peer connections for accessing the Ripple
+peer to peer network, when there are no current connections, is called
+"bootstrapping." The algorithm is as follows:

+1. If (    unusedLiveEndpoints.count() > 0

+        Try addresses from unusedLiveEndpoints

+        ForOneOrMore (DomainName that hasn't been resolved recently)
+            Contact DomainName and add entries to the unusedBootstrapIPs
+        return;
+3. If (unusedBootstrapIPs.count() > 0)
+        Try addresses from unusedBootstrapIPs
+        return;
+4. Try entries from [ips]
+5. Try entries from [ips_urls]
