Release:	1jpp	URL:	http://www.experimentalstuff.com/Technologies/JRMS/

Summary

The Java Reliable Multicast Service[tm] is a set of libraries and services for building multicast applications. It enables building applications that multicast data from senders to receivers. The JRM Service supports multiple reliable multicast transports through a federated interface, which provides isolation to applications, and a service provider interface underneath to allow third parties to plug in other reliable multicast transport implementations. The JRM Service can be used by information distribution applications as the transport for delivery of content to very large constituencies. As compared to unicast protocols (i.e., HTTP), reliable multicast enables broadcasting to groups of receivers, ensuring bandwidth conservation and timely delivery. TRAM, a reliable multicast transport protocol developed along with the JRM Service, is designed for high scalability, targeted at very large numbers of receivers. The JRM Service also includes new services for multicast address allocation and management of channels, as well as a dynamic filtering mechanism that uses Java software classes which are pushed into the network for the purpose of interpreting the data downstream from the server.
