<section name="Introduction">
  <p>
  The channel sender component is responsible for delivering outgoing cluster messages over the network.
  In the default implementation, <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.ReplicationTransmitter,
  the sender is a fairly empty shell with not much logic around a fairly complex <code><Transport>
  component the implements the actual delivery mechanism.
  </p>
</section>

<section name="Concurrent Parallel Delivery">
  <p>
  In the default <code>transport implementation, org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender,
  Apache Tribes implements what we like to call "Concurrent Parallel Delivery". 
  This means that we can send a message to more than one destination at the same time(parallel), and
  deliver two messages to the same destination at the same time(concurrent). Combine these two and we have 
  "Concurrent Parallel Delivery".
  </p>
  <p>
  When is this useful? The simplest example we can think of is when part of your code is sending a 10MB message,
  like a war file being deployed, and you need to push through a small 10KB message, say a session being replicated,
  you don't have to wait for the 10MB message to finish, as a separate thread will push in the small message 
  transmission at the same time. Currently there is no interrupt, pause or priority mechanism avaiable, but check back soon.
  </p>
</section>

<section name="Nested Elements">
 <p>
   The nested element <code><Transport> is is not required, by encouraged, as this is where
   you would set all the socket options for the outgoing messages. Please see its attributes below.
   There are two implementations, in a similar manner to the <a href="cluster-receiver.html">receiver, one is non-blocking
   based and the other is built using blocking IO. <br/>
   <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.bio.PooledMultiSender is the blocking implemenation and 
   <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender.
   Parallel delivery is not available for the blocking implementation due to the fact that it is blocking a thread on sending data.
 </p>

Default value is <code>43800 bytes. </attribute> <attribute name="direct" required="false"> Possible values are <code>true or false. Set to true if you want the receiver to use direct bytebuffers when reading data from the sockets.

The default value is <code>1, meaning we will retry a message that has failed once. In other words, we will attempt a message send no more than twice.
