+    mobile-peers-max times) and anyway two peers whose public contact
+    address may suddenly change couldn't communicate reliably because
+    their contact addresses might both change at once. [false]
+  mobile-peers-max (integer): Maximum number of peer port/addr pairs we
+    remember and send to.  Must be at least 1 and no more than 5.  [3]
+  mobile-peer-expiry (integer): For "mobile" peers only, the length
+    of time (in seconds) for which we will keep sending to multiple
+    address/ports from which we have not seen incoming traffic. [120]
