Multicast Protocols
Unreliable Multicast - Available Today Reliable Multicast (PGM) - Proposed to
IETF SBA - Subject Based Addressing -
Available Today, not public domain. Market Research/Voting - Theoretical.
MulticastMulticast Routing Protocol(among routers)
Forms a loop-free set of trees to interconnect all members of a group
Dynamically adjusts trees as hosts join and leave a group
Use “tunnels” to circumvent non-multicast areas
Internet Group Membership Protocol(routers and hosts)
“Anybody Listening to Group XYZ”?
“I’m Listening to Group XYZ”
Un-Reliable (Standard) Multicast
Optimistic - Needs applications which tolerate high error rates, high latency corrections
Problematic - At least 1% error rate in the best scenarios. Error Correction Unsystematic - Proprietary Solutions Uncontrolled streams of Data - High-Volume unsegmented
bands of data. - Can overwhelm receiver. Useful for Streaming Audio, Video, Radio/TV like Applications. Difficult Addressing Content - Unclear Authority on Naming No Security, I.e. Authentication of Publishers No Guarantee of Order of messages
Reliable Multicast (PGM)
Good - Updates Thousands of Subscribers in a fraction of a second.
Good - Optimistic Algorithm - Proven in Industrial Environments.
Good - Useful for More Data Oriented Applications
Good - Guarantee of Order of messages from a single publisher
Bad - Increased Latency over Unreliable Multicast.
Bad - Uncontrolled streams of Data - High-Volume unsegmented bands of data. - Can overwhelm receiver..
Bad - Difficult Addressing Content - Unclear Authority on Naming
Bad - No Security, I.e. Authentication of Publishers
Subject Based Addressing
Controlling Streams of Information - You don’t have to take the whole banana. Just have a bite!
More Efficient to User - Uses only the bandwidth required for what the user needs.
Creates a Taxonomy of Fine Grained Information - Provides a naming scheme for information that makes it easier for the user to find information. Better than Multicast numeric addresses. (I.e. Ala Internic)
Implements Authentication and Security More efficient usage of Multicast addresses.
Reliable Multicast and SBA
Proven in Mission Critical Applications Advantageous in almost all circumstances Best for High Bandwidth / Large User
Populations where “some” of the information is of interest to “some” of the users. I.e. N to N.
But is usually as good as 1 to N, or 1 to 1 or even N to 1 implemented with Point-to-point or pure broadcast protocols.
Cost/Benefit Tradeoffs
Where does multicast pay off vs repetitive polling or point-to-point push?
Where does SBA pay off vs repetitive polling?
Where does SBA/Multicast pay off vs repetitive polling?
Server Load
Point to Point Load Increases Geometrically with # of Publisher Messages and # of Receivers
Multicast load is linear with # of changes (Publishes)
Problem - What if everybody isn’t online at the time of the updates?
Problem - What if everybody isn’t interested in all the content being broadcast?
Advantage - Big Savings for many applications

One Message Updates Many Users, Caches, Proxies, and Search Engines

Current New Approach
Caches periodically query servers for new updates.
Search Engines periodically go out and search and index new information.
Hidden Content Missing
Single Publish by Content source reaches all concerned caches and search engines.
Search Engines more up to date.
More efficient for publisher.
Flow Rates - Assume 1,000,000 sites changing on average of once a day. Using SBA and PGM.
Search Engines– 1,000,000 messages
a day which is about a tenth of what a typical trading room sees on a slow day.
Caches, Proxies– 1,000 pages cached,
then 1000 messages a day. Also Trivial.
Users Caches and Browsers.– A few messages a
day, typically when viewing highly active sites with constantly changing content.
Advantages
Search Engines– No More Searching the
Internet - or much more limited crawling and comparing. BIG WIN!
– Content more up to date, more comprehensive. BIG WIN!
Proxies, Caches– No polling required, but
need to process updates.
Users– UP TO DATE CURRENT
CONTENT. WIN!
Content Providers– Reduced Load on Servers
from Polls from Search Engines, Caches and Users.
– BIG WIN!!!
Developers - Much simpler to build push applications.

Simple Market Research Protocol (SMRP) As Data is Broadcast, counts are kept

count of number of impressions delivered

Lessons Learned
Everything is an Event - No special messages
Multicast and SBA are essential to make even small systems perform.
Internet Scale requires a “non-centralised” solution, I.e. TCP routing as an example.
Multicast and SBA really work.
