[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-745) FD_SOCK: add timeout to create socket to peer

FD_SOCK: add timeout to create socket to peer --------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-745 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-745 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.7, 2.6.3 In FD_SOCK.setupPingSocket(), a new socket is created to the peer: ping_sock=new Socket(dest.getIpAddress(), dest.getPort()); If the IP packets are discarded at the IP level (e.g. by a firewall), the TCP connection will not get established, but will not fail either ! SOLUTION: use a socket timeout
