Thanks to Steve Totten for tracking down since + when this was broken, and to Carlos O'Ryan for providing + hypotheses as to why. + + Made the server wait a little bit before sending a reply to the + multicast as well as send a reply several times. This 1) gives client + a chance to start listening for a reply, 2) provides a better + protection against packet loss. (The problem was occuring because + the server sent a reply before the client had a chance to start + receiving. This was happening due to the added dynamic memory + allocation in the client code in the interval between + multicast_send and reply_receive). + + A more flexible policy-based solution should be added (as opposed + to hardcoding intervals and retries). This will + probably be a part of Vishal's upcoming Interoperable Naming Service changes. + + Values encoded in the code now should work for most + platforms/networks. However, they are not guaranteed to work for + all! Part of the problem is that UDP is unreliable, so in theory + can be retransmitted 100 times and still not work. Also, specific + network configurations (busy network, busy hosts, old routers, + etc.) may have special needs. Again, this should be better + addressed once hardcoded values are replaced by flexible policies. + Thu Mar 11 22:49:35 1999 Marina Spivak <marina@cs.wustl.edu> * tao/ORB.cpp (multicast_query): |
