In this series we introduce an option to transport messages via replication ("replicast") across a selected number of unicast links, instead of relying on the underlying media. This option is used when true broadcast/multicast is not supported by the media, or when the number of true destinations is much smaller than the cluster size. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
