Presentation: "HTTP Multicast Routing, Scaling the Real-Time Web"

Time: Friday 14:30 - 15:30

Location: Rutherford Room

Abstract:

Comet is the new kid on the block in the world of RIA and with it comes the promise of streaming HTTP communication?a transport mechanism that allows real-time message delivery to applications that run natively in the browser. This technique enables end-users to receive streams of data in real-time, which is extremely compelling for solutions such as online trading, online betting, and analytics. However, despite its promise, current implementations of Comet suffer one fatal flaw, scalability.

HTTP Multicasting represents one potential solution to the scalability and reliability concerns found in current implementations of Comet. In this session you will learn how to use Enterprise Comet, which leverages HTTP Multicasting to adapt existing Java EE containers to support Comet-style applications serving thousands of concurrent users.
