Default Explain the diff between Broadcast and Multicast for ClusterXL
Can anyone explain what ClusterXL uses broadcast/multicast for in the HA, and why one is better than the other?

Thanks,

Default Re: Explain the diff between Broadcast and Multicast for ClusterXL
In "New Mode" ClusterXL uses multicast so that all gateways see all traffic. This should allow better load distribution than in "Pivot/Unicast" mode where one of the gateways in the cluster acts as the traffic cop.
