Thanks very much for this information. I do have another question concerning broadcast/multicast information. The user will have many 3rd party applications running in the same network as opensaf. They are concerned about the amount of broadcasting/multicasting going on in opensaf interfering with those 3rd party applications. Can you point me to any opensaf documents or specific web pages that describes the amount of multicasting that occurs when opensaf is running?
Thanks!

[AVM] For Opensaf 4.4 we haven't collected any TCP verses TIPC statistics , But recently we have taken some statistics on default Opnesaf branch ( upcoming 4.5 release ) after recent improvement in transport module. Attached "OpenSAFStartupTime Second.pdf" doc has some statistics on default Opnesaf branch ( upcoming 4.5 release ). I have one more question; the user has two machines on different subnets that they want to include in the same cluster, i.e. NODE-1 (IP 1.1.1.x) and NODE-2 (IP 1.1.2.x). Which one can I use (TCP or TIPC) to accomplish this task? [AVM] This can be accomplished by using TCP Multicast Feature it is avalible in 4.4 also. -AVM On 7/25/2014 12:53 AM, William R Elliott wrote: Hello All, I have the following two questions: We have a solution that includes opensaf 4.4. One of the potential users has concerns about both transport mechanisms used by opensaf i.e. TCP and TIPC. They are hesitating to install TIPC because of the security alert (see link below) even though a patch for this issue has been provided in the linux kernel version they have installed. https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_CSIRT:Alerts/tipc-2011-01-07 On the other hand, they have concerns about TCP because of the performance.
