[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Bela Ban edited comment on JGRP-100 at 1/5/11 3:51 AM: ------------------------------------------------------- When we have many nodes in a cluster, the header overhead becomes bigger. E.g. a UUID address is 17 bytes (2 longs + 1 byte). If we have 100 nodes, a View for example is ca 1700 bytes ! A Digest might be even bigger, as it contains addresses and low/high seqnos ! If we have a small MTU (like in Infiniband (2048 bytes !), then we need to add FRAG just on top of the transport. The goal here is to make header and address overhead smaller. Headers by using IDs (shorts) for protocol names rather than strings. Addresses by using canonicalization ("ID" protocol), and replacing UUIDs with shorts. This is https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-931. However, as JGRP-931 didn't yield any perf improvements (albeit on small clusters), I closed JGRP-931. Might be re-opened later. was (Author: bela(a)jboss.com): When we have many nodes in a cluster, the header overhead becomes bigger. E.g. a UUID address is 17 bytes (2 longs + 1 byte).
