[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-713) UNICAST: eager acks

UNICAST: eager acks ------------------- Key: JGRP-713 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-713 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.6.1 Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.6.3, 2.7 [Gray Watson] The http://www.nabble.com/file/p15994217/UNICAST.java.patch patch to UNICAST.java adds an "immediate_ack" boolean to the UNICAST protocol which causes it to return the ACK to the client _before_ processing it. UNICAST, by design, only allows one packet up the stack per sender at any time. We had some flow control issues earlier and this was one of the mechanisms we used to alleviate the retransmit cycles where packets would be retransmitted 4-5 times even though many had already been received by the received -- just not ACK'd.
