  # A RingServer allows a Rinda::TupleSpace to be located via UDP broadcasts.
  # Service location uses the following steps:
  #
  # 1. A RingServer begins listening on the broadcast UDP address.
  # 2. A RingFinger sends a UDP packet containing the DRb URI where it will
  #    listen for a reply.
  # 3. The RingServer receives the UDP packet and connects back to the
  #    provided DRb URI with the DRb service.
