             Summary: UNICAST3: bypass or remove when running over TCP
                 Key: JGRP-2069
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2069
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Enhancement
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.6.10, 4.0


When running over TCP as transport, UNICAST3 is still required: while TCP/IP retransmits messages reliably and also provides sender-FIFO ordering, the receiver's thread pool might be exhausted and thus the message might get rejected.

However, *if* the regular and OOB thread pools are disabled, we could actually bypass (or completely remove) UNICAST3. If messages get dropped by a protocol further up the stack, however, there will be no retransmission in this case.

SOLUTION:
* Document this behavior
* Emit an INFO message (or automatically bypass UNICAST3) when run over a TCP transport and both OOB and regular pools are disabled
