             Summary: SCTP transport
                 Key: JGRP-1681
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1681
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 3.5


Provide a new transport based on SCTP. The advantages of SCTP are:
* Message based (like UDP), not stream based (like TCP), but still reliable
* Allows to bind to multiple endpoints (failover)

This requires the new NIO2 based transport to be completed, so this feature will probably be moved into a next release. Also, in JDK we only have a com.sun.nio.sctp package; once this is standardized it will be in a java.nio.channels.sctp package.
