GossipRouter: more efficient routing ------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-2430 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2430 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Priority: Major Fix For: 5.1 GossipRouter supports both NIO (ByteBuffer) and TCP (stream-based) connections. In both cases, however, the entire message is read and then routed to the destination address. It would be better to only read the cluster name and target address, and then use efficient stream-to-stream (or channel-to-channel) _transfer mechanisms_, which avoids temporary copies of data and the full reading of messages. Also look into routing of entire message _batches_. Investigate whether this is possible.
