Class OptimalMulticastDelayGenerator

java.lang.Object

io.aeron.driver.OptimalMulticastDelayGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

FeedbackDelayGenerator

public class OptimalMulticastDelayGenerator
extends java.lang.Object
implements FeedbackDelayGenerator

Feedback delay used for NAKs as well as for some retransmission use cases. Generates delay based on Optimal Multicast Feedback http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5401#page-13 maxBackoffT is max interval for delay C version: <code> double RandomBackoff(double maxBackoffT, double groupSize) { double lambda = log(groupSize) + 1; double x = UniformRand(lambda / maxBackoffT) + lambda / (maxBackoffT * (exp(lambda) - 1)); return ((maxBackoffT / lambda) * log( x * (exp(lambda) - 1) * (maxBackoffT / lambda))); } </code> where UniformRand(x) is uniform distribution from 0..max In this implementations calculation: - the groupSize is a constant (could be configurable as system property) - maxBackoffT is a constant (could be configurable as system property) - GRTT is a constant (could be configurable as a system property) N (the expected number of feedback messages per RTT) is N = exp(1.2 * L / (2 * maxBackoffT/GRTT)) Assumptions: maxBackoffT = K * GRTT (K >= 1) Recommended K: - K = 4 for situations where responses come from multiple places (i.e. for NAKs, multiple retransmitters) - K = 6 for situations where responses come from single places (i.e. for NAKs, source only retransmit)

Constructor Detail

OptimalMulticastDelayGenerator

public OptimalMulticastDelayGenerator(double maxBackoffT,
                                      double groupSize,
                                      double gRtt)

Create new feedback delay generator based on estimates. Pre-calculating some parameters upfront. maxBackoffT and gRtt must be expressed in the same units.

Parameters:

maxBackoffT - of the delay interval

groupSize - estimate

gRtt - estimate
