Interesting. I removed UNICAST from my TCP stack for a while now and did not 
see any regression (though I've seen some mystical differences). I see some 
statements supporting that:
(http://www.jgroups.org/newuser/node67.html)
"Since TCP already offers some of the reliability guarantees that UDP doesn't, 
some protocols (e.g. FRAG and UNICAST) are not needed on top of TCP."

So, just to be sure, I'll ask JGroups list why UNICAST is used in the example 
TCP configurations.

Best wishes,
Linas

I am not sure that UNICAST is necessary with TCP but it seems to be
there by default in the JGroups config files. It seems useless to have
rebuild a reliable unicast on top of TCP but there might be some other
undocumented side effect.
