Abstract:
Reliable group communication is required in distributed applications,
such as distributed file systems (HDFS, GFS and Ceph), where such
group communication is defined by the sender and the group members
are small (e.g. three). However, existing standards for reliable
multicast transport are receiver-initiated and suffer from
inefficiency in either host-side protocols or multicast routing.
This draft proposes a sender-initiated, efficient, congestion-aware
and robust reliable multicast solution in Software-Defined Networks
(SDN), called MCTCP (MultiCast TCP). The main idea behind MCTCP is
to manage the multicast groups in a centralized manner, and
reactively schedule multicast flows to active and low-utilized links,
and it is implemented by extending TCP as the host-side protocol and
managing multicast groups in SDN-controller.
