Extending Globus to support Multicast Transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit that has become the de-facto standard for middleware used to build Grid services. Globus XIO is an eXtensible Input/Output library for Globus. It provides a POSIX-like API to swappable I/O implementations – essentially “I/O plugins” for Globus. TCP-XM is a modified TCP engine that supports multicast transmission. We have taken this protocol and wrapped it using XIO to extend the Globus Toolkit to support multicast transmission. This paper describes the implementation and operation of our Globus XIO multicast transport driver. It provides an overview of the TCP-XM protocol design, and describes some initial experimental results.

Multicast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony
Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...
متن کاملOn Maximizing Lifetime of Multicast Trees in Wireless Ad hoc Networks
This paper presents a distributed algorithm called LREMiT for extending the lifetime of a source-based multicast tree in wireless ad hoc networks (WANET). The lifetime of a multicast tree is the duration from the formation of the tree to the time when the first node fails due to battery energy exhaustion. L-REMiT assumes that the energy consumed to forward a packet is proportional to the forwar...
متن کاملTCP-SMO: Extending TCP to Support Medium-Scale Multicast Applications
Scalable reliable multicast protocols have been a focus of recent research, tackling the problem of efficient reliable data delivery to an arbitrarily large number of receivers. Yet, the common applications of multicast, such as multi-point file delivery, or video streaming from a media server, typically only involve a moderate number of receivers, such as a thousand or fewer. Moreover, because...

متن کاملCongestion Control for Multicast Transmission over UMTS
In this chapter, we present a novel mechanism for the multicast congestion control over Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks. The proposed mechanism is based on the well known TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC) scheme. TFMCC is an equation-based multicast congestion control mechanism intended to scale to groups of several thousand receivers. It is based on t...
