I'm a a bit confused by the jgroups terminology though :-) My understanding of the term ANYCAST is that the message is sent to *one* of the A,B,C. But from what I read here it is sent to A, B and C - that's what I know as MULTICAST. More, on the discussion we had on IRC, jgroup's MULTICAST seemed to mean BROADCAST... I hope I don't sound pedant here, I just want to understand the things correctly :-) _______________________________________________ infinispan-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
