[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-458) NAKACK: REBROADCAST_MSGS blocks forever

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-458?page=comments#action_12367827 ] Bela Ban commented on JGRP-458: ------------------------------- Added more unit tests. The bug was fixed through *multicasting* the retransmission request. In the following scenario: - {A,B,C}, B drops messages from C - C multicasts 5 messages - C crashes - B now needs to retransmit C's 5 messages, but if it sends the XMIT-REQ to C, it will fail. However, if it uses a multicast, A will receive the XMIT-REQ too and retransmit C's 5 messages to B - Note that with such a mechanism, setting NAKACK.discard_delivered_msgs to false is essential ! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
