[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1429) The timeout of VERIFY_SUSPECT protocol is not guaranteed

The timeout of VERIFY_SUSPECT protocol is not guaranteed -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1429 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1429 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.5 Reporter: Benoit Leblanc Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.0.7, 3.1 The verification of a suspected member can take more than timeout. It depend of being followed closely by other suspected members or not. Let's timeout = 2000ms. - At T: Member A is suspected (by Failure Detection protocol). - At T + 1500ms: Member B is suspected too. Member A is declared as definitively dead 3500ms later. The "worst case" occurs when a continuous flow of suspected members arrive with an interval between 0 and 2000ms (timeout). Suspected members are never removed from view.
