A Group Communication Protocol for CORBA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group communication protocols are used in fault-tolerant systems to maintain strong replica consistency. The FaultTolerant Multicast Protocol (FTMP) described here is a group communication protocol specifically designed for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). FTMP operates over IP Multicast, and consists of the Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) that provides reliable source-ordered message delivery, the Reliable Ordered Multicast Protocol (ROMP) that provides reliable totallyordered message delivery, and the Processor Group Membership Protocol (PGMP) that provides processor group membership services.

OCI-Based Group Communication Support in CORBA
Group communication is a useful mechanism guaranteeing consistency among replicated objects. The existing approaches do not allow transparent plug-in of group communication protocols into CORBA. They either require modification of CORBA or OS, or provide no room for incorporating group communication transport protocols into CORBA. We thus propose a generic group communication framework that all...
متن کاملGroup Communication Support for CORBA using OCI
The CORBA has many attractive features such as reusability, portability, and interoperability which are key issues in the integration of heterogeneous and distributed computing system. However, it provides little support for fault tolerance and high availability that can be supported by means of object replication. The existing approaches do not support transparent plug-in of group communicatio...

متن کاملMulticast Group Communication for CORBA
Multicast group communication is a useful augmentation to CORBA both for fault-tolerant and highly available applications and for groupware and cooperative work applications. However, different multicast group communication protocols are appropriate in different environments, e.g., local area vs. wide area networks, and Internet vs. ATM. In this paper we present a multicast group communication ...
