RMM in GridCC middleware
Part of RMM technology is wrapped with a JMS compliant interface to provide efficient reliable multicast in a publish/subscribe manner for the GridCC project. This RMM-JMS variant also supports bridge architecture.
RMM-JMS supports communication in both brokered and brokered-less modes by mapping the message topics and queues onto the packet transport streams. The service allows for symmetric data exchange; any host can both transmit and receive messages.
The following messaging modes are supported:
- Multicast transport for publish/subscribe messaging: Supporting the JMS topic-based messaging and API, with matching done at the IP multicast level. The transport is a Nack-based reliable multicast protocol.
- Direct (broker- less) unicast for point-to-point messaging: Supporting the JMS queue based messaging and API. The transport is the TCP protocol.
- Brokered unicast transport for publish/subscribe messaging.
In the GridCC RMM-JMS, low latency and high throughput enable remote and distributed control and operation of scientific instruments such as sensors and probes.
