A large fraction of today's Internet applications are internally publish/subscribe in nature; the current architecture makes it cumbersome and inept to support them. In essence, supporting efficient publish/subscribe requires data-oriented naming, efficient multicast, and in-network caching. Deployment of native IP-based multicast has failed, and overlay-based multicast systems are inherently inefficient. We surmise that scalable and efficient publish/subscribe will require substantial architectural changes, such as moving from endpoint-oriented systems to information-centric architectures.In this paper, we propose a novel multicast forwarding fabric, suitable for large-scale topic-based publish/subscribe. Due to very simple forwarding decisions and small forwarding tables, the fabric may be more energy efficient than the currently used ones. To understand the limitations and potential, we provide efficiency and scalability analysis via simulations and early measurements from our two implementations. We show that the system scales up to metropolitan WAN sizes, and we discuss how to interconnect separate networks.

“…In order to support multicast, this utility must call the device driver for each member in the multicast group. The kernel-level SE multicast utility uses the multiSE device driver [9]. This device driver can send the same message to a group of destinations on the Ethernet with one system call.…”

Abstract. Distributed database systems need special operating system support. Support routines can be implemented inside the kernel or at the user level. Kernel-level functions, while efficient, are hard to implement. User-level implementations are easier but suffer from poor performance and lack of security. This article proposes a new approach to supplement or modify kernel facilities for database transaction processing. Our experimental facility, called Push, is based on an extension language interpreted within the kernel. Our implementation provides the efficiency of kernel-resident code as well as the simplicity and safety of user level programming. This facility enables experimentation that would be difficult and time consuming in current enviromnents. The overhead of the Push implementation can be factored out to give a good estimate of the performance of a native kernel implementation. We have used Push to implement several kernel-resident services. In the case of multi-RPC and commit protocols, Push implementations significantly improve performance and scalability over user-level implementa tions. The experiments show the benefits of Push both as an operational tool for improving transaction processing performance and as an experimental tool for investigating the benefits of operating systems extension without costly implementation.
