This topic explains how VMware Tanzu GemFire communication between members works.
Tanzu GemFire uses TCP/IP for communication between members. You can change the default settings to optimize communication for your system.
Client/server communication and gateway sender to gateway receiver communication uses TCP/IP sockets. The server listens for client communication at a published address and the client establishes the connection, sending its location. Similarly, the gateway receiver listens for gateway sender communication and the connection is established between sites.
In peer systems, Tanzu GemFire uses TCP/IP for all communication.
