[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=12453916#action_12453916 ] 

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

Correction: an AnycastAddress *cannot* be treated as a multicast address, because we're sending message M only to a subset of the members, whereas a multicast message is received by all members ! So we have to send multiple unicasts, so that a message with an AnycastAddress as dest is handled by UNICAST, *NOT* by NAKACK !

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