Full Support of Non-multicast Networks

Cacheonix fully supports production environments that don't allow use of multicast communications. Cacheonix achieves this by making it possible to designate a server which IP address is known to other servers in the cluster and by providing a simple configuration parameter that switches cluster nodes to a TCP-only mode. Here is an example of a server configuration:

<broadcast>
    <knownAddress>
        <tcp address="192.168.1.1" port="8879"/>
    </knownAddress>
</broadcast>

Please check Cacheonix documentation, section Configuring Cacheonix Broadcast for more information on configuring Cacheonix on non-multicast networks.
