/**
 * <p>
 * Title: Membership - Absolute Order
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Description: A simple, yet agreeable and efficient way of ordering members
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Ordering members can serve as a basis for electing a leader or coordinating efforts.<br>
 * This is stinky simple, it works on the basis of the <code>Member</code> interface and orders members in the following
 * format:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>IP comparison - byte by byte, lower byte higher rank</li>
 * <li>IPv4 addresses rank higher than IPv6, ie the lesser number of bytes, the higher rank</li>
 * <li>Port comparison - lower port, higher rank</li>
 * <li>UniqueId comparison- byte by byte, lower byte higher rank</li>
 * </ol>
 *
