| <p> |
| Rather than list all the other lateral servers in the configuration |
| file, you can configure the TCP lateral to use UDP |
| discovery. In discovery mode, lateral TCP caches will broadcast |
| to a multicast address and port, letting all listeners know where they are. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| On startup each lateral will issue a special message requesting a |
| broadcast from the others caches. Normal broadcasts occur every |
| 30 seconds. (This is to be made configurable.) Regions that don't |
| receive, are running in send only mode, don't broadcast anything but requests. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When a lateral receives a discovery message it will try to add |
| the lateral to the nowait facade for the region. If it already exists |
| nothing happens. If a region is not configured to send laterally, nothing |
| happens, since it doesn't have a no wait. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This allows you to have the same configuration on every machine. |

| The configuration is fairly straightforward and is done in the |
| auxiliary cache section of the <code>cache.ccf</code> |
| configuration file. In the example below, I created a TCP |
| Lateral Auxiliary Cache referenced by <code>LTCP</code>. It uses |
| UDP Discovery to locate other servers. It broadcasts to |
| multicast address <code>228.5.6.8</code> and port <code>6780</code>. |
| It listens to port <code>1110</code>. |
