SCTP transport -------------- Key: JGRP-1681 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1681 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 4.1 Provide a new transport based on SCTP. The advantages of SCTP are: * Message based (like UDP), not stream based (like TCP), but still reliable * Allows to bind to multiple endpoints (failover) This requires the new NIO2 based transport to be completed, so this feature will probably be moved into a next release. Also, in JDK we only have a com.sun.nio.sctp package; once this is standardized it will be in a java.nio.channels.sctp package. [1] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/index-139946.html
