As I see it, the correct solution to this problem is to do as follows:
1: We allow adding more remoteip addresses to a bearer after it has been
enabled.
Something like:
tipc bearer media udp add remoteip 192.168.122.60
(We could also allow tipc bearer enable to take multiple remoteip addresses,
but that
would be an optimization, and does not eliminate the need for the 'add'
operator.
Something like this:
tipc bearer enable media udp name eth0 remoteip 192.168.122.60
192.168.122.61)
2: We accumulate these addresses in a linked list in struct tipc_bearer.
3: We let tipc_bearer_bc_xmit() first check if this list is non-empty, and if
so, it performs
the broadcast as a 'replicast' across those addresses. Otherwise it uses the
broadcast
address as it does now.
This makes is possible to fully set up a cluster with many nodes across IP even
when
broadcast is not available.
Does anybody feel a vocation to implement this? I am busy with other stuff
right now,
so it will take a while before I can do it myself.
