   +----JavaGroups.JavaStack.GossipServer
public class GossipServer
extends Object
implements Runnable
Server that keeps track of (group) members. A member registers its address (oid) with the Gossip server periodically. Every n seconds, if the registration is not renewed, old entries are purged in order to avoid stale references to members that have crashed.

The GossipServer is mainly used to simulate IP multicast. It allows to find the initial members of a group where IP multicasting is disabled.
