This group might be interested in some of our work in this area.
The first is a paper which we did almost 2 years ago. The paper
has since been revised and we have pieces of an implementation.
The paper reference:
Russell Clark and Mostafa Ammar.
" Providing Scalable Web Service Using Multicast Delivery ",
Proceedings of the IEEE Workshop on Services in Distributed
and Networked Environments, Whistler, Canada, June 1995.
(Revised: January 1996)
The revised version will appear in the
Computer Networks and ISDN Systems Journal.
It can be found in
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fac/Mostafa.Ammar/webjournal.ps.Z
The second piece of work is not yet published but is part
of Kevin Almeroth's thesis which he will defend next week.
This work looks at the use of UDP/IP Multicast
for the continuous delivery of very hot web pages.
We have a draft extended abstract that I will be happy to
send to people upon request.
Unfortunatley, I will not be able to attend the BOF on April 9th.
I will see if another member of our group can substitute.
Mostafa
