[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-451) Disabling a network interface and subsequent re-enabling it (on Windows) doesn't merge

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-451?page=comments#action_12377347 ] 
            
Bela Ban commented on JGRP-451:
-------------------------------

Windows (XP) apparently doesn't correctly re-establish routes when the network adapter is re-activaed, or it de-activates the socket as well, so we cannot use that socket anymore.
Solutions:
- Use a real OS
- Use something equivalent to IP bonding on Windows
- Kill the process attached to the socket and restart it

> - Run 2 Draw instances: 1 cluster of 2
> - Disable the interface (on Windows). [Need to check whether ifcfg down eth0 causes the same issue]
> - 2 clusters of 1 each
> - Re-enable the interface: members don't merge as sending on the interface always fails
