Bug Fix
BZ#683592
Compared to a unicast token, certain network switches add an extra delay to the transmission of a multicast packet. Consequent to this, multicast messages may have been retransmitted, even though the message was not lost and the retransmission was therefore not necessary. This update introduces the "miss_count_const" constant that allows a user to specify the maximum number of times a message is checked for retransmission before the retransmission is performed.
All users of corosync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
