[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-859) Message: add LOOPBACK flag

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-859:
-------------------------------
It's useless to only mark VIEW and SUSPECT messages as LOOPBACK, because, although
this will cause suspicions to work and clusters to fall apart, messages sent *after* a
network partition will still not be received by self because the NIC doesn't forward
them.
Setting LOOPBACK to true by default in all messages would help, but then we might as well
set TP.loopback to true by default (JGRP-155)...
Message: add LOOPBACK flag
--------------------------
Key: JGRP-859
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-859
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Fix For: 2.8
When LOOPBACK is set in a message, the UNICAST.loopback and TP.loopback flags are
overridden and a message is looped back up the stack, regardless of the value of the
property.
This is useful for example for VIEW and SUSPECT messages, where a socket could be
disconnected (e.g. cable plugged) and we still need to be able to receive our own
messages.
