Performance Analysis of a Reliable Multicast Protocol for Virtual Environments in Java

摘要

One of the main bottlenecks in Distributed Virtual Environments (DVE) is the availability of sufficient network bandwidth. To help solve this problem we constructed a reliable multicast protocol that has been optimized for use in distributed virtual reality applications. Since the DVE we are developing is written in Java, this is also the language used for the implementation of the reliable multicast protocol. In this paper we present a performance analysis of this protocol. We do this by comparing different platforms, operating systems and Java Virtual Machines.
