It depends on the socket type and state. If it is a connected socket there is a built-in mechanism that will make sure that the peer socket is immediately notified, and the user will receive this notification. The same is the case with group sockets. For DGRAM sockets there is no such mechanism, since it is impossible for TIPC to know which peers need to be supervised. ///jon Thanks, Jon. I'm dipping my toes in the group communication waters, and so far it looks like I will be able to use it.
