NAKACK: remove max_xmit_buf_size
--------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1258
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1258
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.12


This property discards the oldest N message (even undelivered one), to keep the max number of messages buffered for retransmission to max_xmit_buf_size.
However, this leads to issues. E.g. when P sent a message M, then discards it because max_xmit_buf_size has been exceeded, and then a member Q asks P for retransmission of M, P won't be able to furnish M !

We don't have a concept of being able to tell Q that it will never receive M and should therefore skip it. This would require quite some code changes, so we don't do it here (maybe later).
