  DAISYCHAIN: implementation of daisy chaining
  --------------------------------------------
  [https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1021]

  New flow control protocols for unicast (UFC) and multicast (MFC) messages
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1154]
  
  MFC and UFC replace FC. They can be used independently, and performance is faster than that of FC only.
