Cloneable, Comparable<Address>, Externalizable, Serializable, Streamable
All Known Subinterfaces:
PhysicalAddress
All Known Implementing Classes:
AdditionalDataUUID, IpAddress, PayloadUUID, SingletonAddress, TopologyUUID, UUID
public interface Address extends Externalizable, Streamable, Comparable<Address>, Cloneable
Abstract address. Used to identify members on a group to send messages to. Addresses are mostly generated by the bottom-most (transport) layers (e.g. UDP, TCP, LOOPBACK).
