[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JGRP-718) Transport: limit number of bytes read

Transport: limit number of bytes read ------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-718 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-718 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.7 In the transport, each message is prefixed with its length. If, on the receiver side, we receive garbage data (e.g. a random app connects to the same port), then JGroups tries to interpret the first 4 bytes as length, and this might be quite huge (1.6GB in one instance). If we know that our packets are never larger than 200'000 bytes, then we can set a flag discard_messages_larger_than="200000". If the flag is 0, no messages will be discarded. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
