[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Clustering on JBoss (Clusters/JBoss)] - Re: JBAS-2394 - multicast addr not working

[dimitris@jboss.org]

Related to http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2398

I tried running latest jboss 4.x in all 3 configurations, on a WinXP box, using ./run and ./run -b <local-nic>, checking the listening ports with TCPView.

In the minimal & default config, run -b binds all listening ports to the specified address.

In the all config, run -b shows the folowing addresses bound to 0.0.0.0

cluster-service.xml
---------------------------
UDP 0.0.0.0:1102     (${jboss.partition.udpGroup:230.0.0.4}, 1102) - ha-jndi
UDP 0.0.0.0:45566   (${jboss.partition.udpGroup:228.1.2.3}, 45566)
TCP 0.0.0.0:49153    (fixed tcp port)
UDP 0.0.0.0:2807     (random udp port)

tc5-cluster.sar
--------------------------
UDP 0.0.0.0:45577  (${jboss.partition.udpGroup:230.1.2.3}, 45577)
TCP 0.0.0.0:49152   (fixed tcp port)
UDP 0.0.0.0:2804     (random udp port)

1) It seems to me that although the bound multicast UDP sockets are reported to be bound to 0.0.0.0, they are clearly configured with 230.0.0.4, 228.1.2.3, 230.1.2.3, so this seems like a winxp thing we could ignore ?

2) Both jgroup stacks, listen also to 1 fixed tcp port, and 1 random udp port each. What are exactly those and shouldn't (at least the TCP port) be bound to the ${jboss.bind.address} ?
