AckMcastSenderWindow.RetransmitCommand
public class SMACK extends Protocol implements AckMcastSenderWindow.RetransmitCommand
Simple Multicast ACK protocol. A positive acknowledgment-based protocol for reliable delivery of multicast messages, which does not need any group membership service. Basically works as follows:- Sender S sends multicast message M
- When member P receives M, it sends back a unicast ack to S
- When S receives the ack from P, it checks whether P is in its membership list. If not, P will be added. This is necessary to retransmit the next message sent to P.
- When S sends a multicast message M, all members are added to a retransmission entry (containing all members to which the message was sent), which is added to a hashmap (keyed by seqno). Whenever an ack is received from receiver X, X will be removed from the retransmission list for the given seqno. When the retransmission list is empty, the seqno will be removed from the hashmap.
- A retransmitter thread in the sender periodically retransmits (either via unicast, or multicast) messages for which no ack has been received yet
- When a max number of (unsuccessful) retransmissions have been exceeded, all remaining members for that seqno are removed from the local membership, and the seqno is removed from the hashmap, ceasing all retransmissions

Method Detail

setProperties
public boolean setProperties(java.util.Properties props)
Description copied from class:Protocol
Configures the protocol initially. A configuration string consists of name=value items, separated by a ';' (semicolon), e.g.:"loopback=false;unicast_inport=4444"
- Overrides:
setProperties
in classProtocol
-
stop
public void stop()
Description copied from class:Protocol
This method is called on aChannel.disconnect()
. Stops work (e.g. by closing multicast socket). Will be called from top to bottom. This means that at the time of the method invocation the neighbor protocol below is still working. This method will replace the STOP, STOP_OK, CLEANUP and CLEANUP_OK events. The ProtocolStack guarantees that when this method is called all messages in the down queue will have been flushed
-
up
public java.lang.Object up(Event evt)
Description copied from class:Protocol
An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack usingdown_prot.down()
or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack usingup_prot.up()
.
-
down
public java.lang.Object down(Event evt)
Description copied from class:Protocol
An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack usingdown_prot.down()
. In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack usingup_prot.up()

retransmit
public void retransmit(long seqno, Message msg, Address dest)
Description copied from interface:AckMcastSenderWindow.RetransmitCommand
Retranmit the given msg- Specified by:
retransmit
in interfaceAckMcastSenderWindow.RetransmitCommand
- Parameters:
seqno
- the sequence number associated with the messagemsg
- the msg to retransmit (it should be a copy!)dest
- the msg destination
