Currently, a multicast stream may start out using replicast, because there are few destinations, and then it should ideally switch to L2/broadcast IGMP/multicast when the number of destinations grows beyond a certain limit. The opposite should happen when the number decreases below the limit. To eliminate the risk of message reordering caused by method change, a sending socket must stick to a previously selected method until it enters an idle period of 5 seconds. Means there is a 5 seconds pause in the traffic from the sender socket. If the sender never makes such a pause, the method will never change, and transmission may become very inefficient as the cluster grows. With this commit, we allow such a switch between replicast and broadcast without any need for a traffic pause. Solution is to send a dummy message with only the header, also with the SYN bit set, via broadcast or replicast. For the data message, the SYN bit is set and sending via replicast or broadcast (inverse method with dummy). Then, at receiving side any messages follow first SYN bit message (data or dummy message), they will be held in deferred queue until another pair (dummy or data message) arrived in other link. v2: reverse christmas tree declaration Acked-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@dektech.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
