19.5.2. FD_SOCK
FD_SOCK is a failure detection protocol based on a ring of TCP sockets created between group members. Each member in a group connects to its neighbor (last member connects to first) thus forming a ring. Member B is suspected when its neighbor A detects abnormally closed TCP socket (presumably due to a node B crash). However, if a member B is about to leave gracefully, it lets its neighbor A know, so that it does not become suspected. The simplest FD_SOCK configuration does not take any attribute. You can just declare an empty
FD_SOCK element in JGroups's Config element.
<FD_SOCK_down_thread="false" up_thread="false"/>
There available attributes in the
FD_SOCK element are listed below.
- bind_addr specifies the interface to which the server socket should bind to. If -Djgroups.bind_address system property is defined, XML value will be ignore. This behaivour can be reversed setting -Djgroups.ignore.bind_addr=true system property.
