Bartosz Spyrko-Śmietanko created JGRP-2180: ---------------------------------------------- Summary: (7.0.z) UNICAST3: bypass or remove when running over TCP Key: JGRP-2180 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2180 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bartosz Spyrko-Śmietanko Assignee: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.6.11, 4.0 When running over TCP as transport, UNICAST3 is still required: while TCP/IP retransmits messages reliably and also provides sender-FIFO ordering, the receiver's thread pool might be exhausted and thus the message might get rejected. However, *if* the regular and OOB thread pools are disabled, we could actually bypass (or completely remove) UNICAST3. If messages get dropped by a protocol further up the stack, however, there will be no retransmission in this case. SOLUTION: * Document this behavior * Emit an INFO message (or automatically bypass UNICAST3) when run over a TCP transport and both OOB and regular pools are disabled -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
