Multicasting

[mi...@comcast.net]

I'm new to Mina. I'm working on an application that will need Multicasting support.
It looks like there is some interest in implementing it last year in DIRMINA-23.
Is there still interest?  It appears no work as been done since it isn't assigned.

Multicast is not supported in JDK 1.5, so we didn't include it in MINA.

Yes, we are still interested because NIO doesn't perform better than
blocking-I/O when the number of connection is relatively small.  But its
priority for us has been very low because we can live just OK with NIO.  If
you are interested, you can always start to work on it and let us know.

BTW you shouldn't reply to a unrelated message to start a new thread because
some e-mail clients will not recognize it as a new thread but a reply to an
existing thread, which annoys users.

HTH,
Trustin
