[jboss-jira] [Red Hat JIRA] (JGRP-2521) FD_SOCK2: enhancements over FD_SOCK

Bela Ban created JGRP-2521: ------------------------------ Summary: FD_SOCK2: enhancements over FD_SOCK Key: JGRP-2521 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2521 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 5.2 FD_SOCK is quite old and hasn't been given a lot of maintenance love over the last decade (or two!). The code is quite complicated/brittle and could use some simplification. The major enhancement is to use a fixed port, so we can scrap the code which maintains the cache between IP addresses:ports and UUIDs. This requires a poor man's state transfer of this cache to new members, plus update messages whenever a new member starts. Using a fixed port allows us to reuse the UUID/IP-Address cache, which already exists in the transport. When a view change is received, a member simply determines the peer to which to connect to by grabbing the peer's IP address from the transport cache, and connecting to it at {{port}}. We probably need a port range. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.13.8#713008)
