[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-1258) NAKACK: remove max_xmit_buf_size

NAKACK: remove max_xmit_buf_size -------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1258 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1258 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.12 This property discards the oldest N message (even undelivered one), to keep the max number of messages buffered for retransmission to max_xmit_buf_size. However, this leads to issues. E.g. when P sent a message M, then discards it because max_xmit_buf_size has been exceeded, and then a member Q asks P for retransmission of M, P won't be able to furnish M ! We don't have a concept of being able to tell Q that it will never receive M and should therefore skip it. This would require quite some code changes, so we don't do it here (maybe later).
