[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1578) UNICAST: lost ACK leads to endless retransmissions

Bela Ban created JGRP-1578: ------------------------------ Summary: UNICAST: lost ACK leads to endless retransmissions Key: JGRP-1578 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1578 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.2.7, 3.3 - B sends a unicast message M to A - A drops the ACK(M) to B - B sends no further messages to A --> B will keep retransmitting M to A until it gets an ACK from A, or A leaves the cluster --> However, A will not send an ACK(M) to B, as the logic for acking only sends an ack if we did receive a message from B and it was successfully added to the retransmit table --> However, the retransmitted M will not get added to A's table, as M has already been received SOLUTION: - Always ack a message frpm B with the highest delivered seqno for B's table -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. If you think it was sent incorrectly, please contact your JIRA administrators For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
