It is not possibe to only shut down the remoting subsystem in Akka and keep the ActorSystem running. The remoting transports are internal to the RemoteActorRefProvider and you really can’t access them from the outside. And if not, any suggestions on how we might be able to add this functionality? I've spent a bit of time reading the source, however I'm a Java developer with not too much experience in Scala. I suspect I should be able to add a disconnect functionality by implementing a transport adapter, but I don't know how I would get access to the appropriate object to initiate the disconnect command. I see how transport adapters are layered and pass management commands down the stack, but I haven't found where (if at all) user-level code can inject management commands into the transport. So I’m still not sure that I understand what you would gain from shutting down the communication. The remoting does a lot of things under the hood, like failure detection, and will probably try to open up the communication again. There is a transport adapter that we use for testing that can drop packets and is controlled from the test code. It could be used as a starting point. https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/akka-remote/src/main/scala/akka/remote/transport/FailureInjectorTransportAdapter.scala B/ Thanks!
