    tipc: introduce group anycast messaging · ee106d7f
    Jon Maloy 提交于
    In this commit, we make it possible to send connectionless unicast
    messages to any member corresponding to the given member identity,
    when there is more than one such member. The sender must use a
    TIPC_ADDR_NAME address to achieve this effect.
    
    We also perform load balancing between the destinations, i.e., we
    primarily select one which has advertised sufficient send window
    to not cause a block/EAGAIN delay, if any. This mechanism is
    overlayed on the always present round-robin selection.
    
    Anycast messages are subject to the same start synchronization
    and flow control mechanism as group broadcast messages.
