[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-897) Anycasting: better use of logical addresses

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-897?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12453915#action_12453915 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-897:
-------------------------------

We could create an AnycastAddress, which extends Address, and contains a list of addresses. The equals() and hashCode() methods would use a name (String), e.g. the buddy group or cluster name.
If the name is null, we could use test for identity of the list and/or element wise comparison.

An AnycastAddress would be treated as a multicast address (Message.dest == null) and the transport would set msg.dest to null and send the message to all UUIDs in the list (after resolving them to physical addresses)

> See whether logical addresses allow us to handle anycasting more efficiently, ie. handle them at the transport level, and not by sending multiple unicasts
