Memory based flow control ------------------------- Key: JGRP-2 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-2 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.2.8 Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.x Original Estimate: 2 weeks Remaining Estimate: 2 weeks Memory and retransmission based flow control protocol. Should be much faster than the current FC on a fast network, we can still run out of memory because received_msgs/delivered_msgs becomes very big. Instead of basing FC on the speed of the network, we should also take the number of messages processed (a.k.a delivered_msgs/received_msgs) into account, and only send credits when that number falls below a certain threshold. First: look at the number of received/delivered msgs in the perf test ! --> Look into memory-based FC: criteria for sending credits are - available free memory - outstanding retransmission requests (sender sends with each message number of messages sent, receiver keeps track of how many messages received, if diff is > threshold --> pause) - [optional] latency
