[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-1021) Daisy chaining of messages

Daisy chaining of messages -------------------------- Key: JGRP-1021 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1021 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.11 For non multicasting environments (e.g. clouds, which offer only TCP), sending message M to N members involves sending M N-1 times. Rachid et al (see below) introduce a daisy chaining method, which has A send the message to B, B forwarding it to C, C to D and so on. This relieves A of some sending work and makes the line from A to the switch less contented. Throughput increases, although latency increases slightly, too.
