TCP: multicasting should be restricted to current members --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1289 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1289 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.12 In TP.down(), when TCP is used as transport, BasicTCP.sendMulticast() calls sendToAllPhysicalAddresses(). This method grabs all physical addresses from the cache and sends the message to each of them in turn. However, this is problematic in the following case: - {A,B,C} - C is stopped (CTRL-Z) - After some time, A installs view {A,B} - This marks C in the cache as 'removed', but the list of physical addresses is still {A,B,C}, so when we multicast to the group, we send to A, B *and* C ! - The send to C will block at some point (as C is stopped), therefore the sending thread will block ! - Even if we use send queues in TCP, after some time, the send queue of C will fill up and the addition to the queue will block SOLUTION: send a group multicast only to elements in the cache which are not marked as 'removable'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
