       The multicast address that the membership will broadcast its presence and listen
       for other heartbeats on. The default value is <code>228.0.0.4</code>
       Make sure your network is enabled for multicast traffic.<br>
       The multicast address, in conjunction with the <code>port</code> is what
       creates a cluster group. To divide up your farm into several different group, or to
       split up QA from production, change the <code>port</code> or the <code>address</code>

       The multicast port, in conjunction with the <code>address</code> is what

       <p>
       The frequency in milliseconds in which heartbeats are sent out. The default value is <code>500</code> ms.<br>
       In most cases the default value is sufficient. Changing this value, simply changes the interval in between heartbeats.

     </td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">dropTime</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
       <p>
       The membership component will time out members and notify the Channel if a member fails to send a heartbeat within
       a give time. The default value is <code>3000</code> ms. This means, that if a heartbeat is not received from a
       member in that timeframe, the membership component will notify the cluster of this.<br>
       On a high latency network you may wish to increase this value, to protect against false positives.<br>
       Apache Tribes also provides a <a href="cluster-interceptor.html#org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector_Attributes"><code>TcpFailureDetector</code></a> that will
       verify a timeout using a TCP connection when a heartbeat timeout has occurred. This protects against false positives.

       Use this attribute if you wish to bind your multicast traffic to a specific network interface.
       By default, or when this attribute is unset, it tries to bind to <code>0.0.0.0</code> and sometimes on multihomed hosts
       this becomes a problem.

       The sending and receiving of heartbeats is done on a single thread, hence to avoid blocking this thread forever,
       you can control the <code>SO_TIMEOUT</code> value on this socket.<br>

       throw IOException upon each receive request. When recoveryEnabled is set to true, this will close the multicast socket
       and open a new socket with the same properties as defined above.<br>

	<p>
	The default value is <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService</code>
	and is currently the only implementation.
	This implementation uses multicast heartbeats for member discovery.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">address</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The multicast address that the membership will broadcast its presence and listen
	for other heartbeats on. The default value is <code>228.0.0.4</code>
	Make sure your network is enabled for multicast traffic.<br>
	The multicast address, in conjunction with the <code>port</code> is what
	creates a cluster group. To divide up your farm into several different group, or to
	split up QA from production, change the <code>port</code> or the <code>address</code>
	<br>Previously known as mcastAddr.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">port</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The multicast port, the default value is <code>45564</code><br>
	The multicast port, in conjunction with the <code>address</code> is what
	creates a cluster group. To divide up your farm into several different group, or to
	split up QA from production, change the <code>port</code> or the <code>address</code>
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">frequency</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The frequency in milliseconds in which heartbeats are sent out. The default value is <code>500</code> ms.<br>
	In most cases the default value is sufficient. Changing this value, simply changes the interval in between heartbeats.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">dropTime</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The membership component will time out members and notify the Channel if a member fails to send a heartbeat within
	a give time. The default value is <code>3000</code> ms. This means, that if a heartbeat is not received from a
	member in that timeframe, the membership component will notify the cluster of this.<br>
	On a high latency network you may wish to increase this value, to protect against false positives.<br>
	Apache Tribes also provides a <a href="cluster-interceptor.html#org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector_Attributes"><code>TcpFailureDetector</code></a> that will
	verify a timeout using a TCP connection when a heartbeat timeout has occurred. This protects against false positives.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">bind</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	Use this attribute if you wish to bind your multicast traffic to a specific network interface.
	By default, or when this attribute is unset, it tries to bind to <code>0.0.0.0</code> and sometimes on multihomed hosts
	this becomes a problem.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">ttl</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The time-to-live setting for the multicast heartbeats.
	This setting should be a value between 0 and 255. The default value is VM implementation specific.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">domain</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	Apache Tribes has the ability to logically group members into domains, by using this domain attribute.
	The <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.Member.getDomain()</code> method returns the value specified here.
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">soTimeout</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	The sending and receiving of heartbeats is done on a single thread, hence to avoid blocking this thread forever,
	you can control the <code>SO_TIMEOUT</code> value on this socket.<br>
	If a value smaller or equal to 0 is presented, the code will default this value to frequency
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">recoveryEnabled</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	In case of a network failure, Java multicast socket don't transparently fail over, instead the socket will continuously
	throw IOException upon each receive request. When recoveryEnabled is set to true, this will close the multicast socket
	and open a new socket with the same properties as defined above.<br>
	The default is <code>true</code>. <br>
	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">recoveryCounter</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	When <code>recoveryEnabled==true</code> this value indicates how many

	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">recoverySleepTime</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	When <code>recoveryEnabled==true</code> this value indicates how long time (in milliseconds)
	the system will sleep in between recovery attempts, until it recovers successfully.

	</p>
	</td></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="center"><code class="attributeName">localLoopbackDisabled</code></td><td align="left" valign="center">
	<p>
	Membership uses multicast, it will call <code>java.net.MulticastSocket.setLoopbackMode(localLoopbackDisabled)</code>.
	When <code>localLoopbackDisabled==true</code> multicast messages will not reach other nodes on the same local machine.
	The default is <code>false</code>. <br>
