bind_addr: use keywords to pick special types of addresses ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1204 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-1204 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.10 In addition to using dotted-decimal IP addresses and symbolic names for bind addresses, the following values can also be used: - GLOBAL: picks a global (public) address - SITE_LOCAL: an address starting with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x - LINK_LOCAL: a link local address, ie. starting with 169.x.x.x or 254.x.x.x - NON_LOOPBACK (default if bind_addr is not defined): picks any non-loopback address The address is picked from any of the interfaces (which are up) on the host. Examples: #1: <UDP bind_addr="GLOBAL"../> // picks a global IP address if available. If not, falls back to picking any non-loopback address #2: -Djgroups.bind_addr=SITE_LOCAL // picks a site local IP address
