Description
Currently there is no plumbing to enable multi-hop protocol sessions. This would rely on the underlying OS having a route to the target of the multi-hop session, and maghemite does not synchronize routes into the kernel (just dendrite / ddm).
This will almost certainly result in any connect() calls never succeeding because the OS has no route to reach the destination IP.

Research direction
Start by tracing how BGP and BFD sessions establish connections and where maghemite depends on the underlying OS route. Review the dendrite/ddm route-synchronization boundary; done should mean multi-hop sessions can connect when the OS already has a route to the target.
