> RemoteSyslogAppender may block for ARP resolution + Improvement Strict RFC3164

> Sending UDP packages may block for some time in specific circumstances:
> 1) Next hop in network level 3 can't be resolved by ARP.
> 2) Datagram size exceeds FastSendDatagramThreshold configured size.
> When sending packets bigger than FastSendDatagramThreshold, the OS waits
> until the packet is actually sent, if the If the syslog (or the next hop to
> reach the syslog) is in the same VLAN/Subnet the OS tries to resolve by ARP
> the Ip of the configured syslog, this may take up to 3 seconds, slowing down
> the whole application, which in some cases can lead to outages (timeouts, DB
> locks...).
> Also the fact that each carriage return generates the headers of the packet
> again, that can lead to a significant overhead in some scenarios, for
> instance when loggign HTTP requests to a remote syslog, every header will go
> in a different message. Also some logging may require characters that are now
> skipped in patch: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-370
> I'm adding a patch that
> 1) Moves the use of UDPClient to Non blocking sockets, which eliminates the
> blocking.
> 2) Adds a configuration field to decide if you want Strict RFC Behaviour or
> not (with default Strict).
> Please your feedback, thanks in advance
