MINA Multicast
Is there a plan to implement MULTICAST to 1.1 branch or only trunk ? I'd like
to implement this in 1.1, is there some work or patch for this ? Help is
appreciated.
thanks,
Fabiano.

Hi,
Yes you are right SLP use multicast for group management.
Multicast is not quite common, most of time it's used for
media broadcasting (audio/video).

Doh! You're right.
SLP which was another protocol I had in mind while writing this email will
still need it so the
demand is there. Sorry about the mix up.

DHCP uses broadcast rather than multicast AFAIK, so it should be
implemented with the current version of MINA. I confirmed MINA works
OK with broadcasting.
HTH,

FYI multicast would help us do DHCP with MINA correctly over at Directory.
Plus a slew of other protocols
can also benefit. I'd love to see something along these lines happening in
the trunk for a 2.0 release.
Mike, this might sound like a crazy idea but perhaps the fact that it cannot
presently be done with NIO in
pre-1.7 JDKs can be abstracted away. So when the right JDK or APR based
MINA delegates are present
the NIO based capability can be triggered? Until then can't this be mimiced?

Multicast support will only be in trunk because it will likely require
an API change and the 1.1 API is frozen. To use multicast with NIO, we
have to wait until Java 7 is released. In the mean time, it may be
possible to get multicast support using APR. See:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-438
