The TCPGOSSIP protocol only works with a GossipRouter. It works essentially the same way as the PING protocol configuration with valid gossip_host and gossip_port attributes. It works on top of both UDP and TCP transport protocols. Here is an example.
<PING timeout="2000"
initial_hosts="192.168.5.1[12000],192.168.0.2[12000]"
num_initial_members="3"/>
The available attributes in the TCPGOSSIP element are listed below.
timeout specifies the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for any responses.
num_initial_members specifies the maximum number of responses to wait for.
initial_hosts is a comma-seperated list of addresses (e.g., host1[12345],host2[23456]) for GossipRouters to register with.
