[Spread-users] Message reception time

[Ryan Caudy]

It is possible that the Java implementation is slower.  If all else
fails, I would try the same thing with a simple C client and server,
and see if the measurements are different.

Your Spread_Segment definition seems fine, assuming you're just using
two machines, with clients and servers connecting locally to a daemon
on their machine.  With only two machines, there shouldn't be any
significant token latencies to worry about slowing down the delivery,
but Yair or Jonathan may have more ideas about this.

Do you know if IP multicast is working properly on your network?  You
could use spmonitor to see what the _retrans counts it reports are at
each daemon... I wouldn't expect to see many retransmissions at all. 
If IP multicast isn't working, you might try declaring the segment
with your network's broadcast address instead.

I assume ping latencies on your network are much much lower than 90
ms.  On our usual test LAN networks, they tend to be less than 1 ms
(0.1 ms - 0.2 ms).

When you report 90 ms, is that the average of multiple measurements? 
If so, how many, and are you restarting you configuration for each, or
not?  If you are averaging a relatively small number, I could imagine
that the strange performance is caused by a timeout in Spread's token
rotation protocol, which seeks to minimize traffic due to the token on
inactive Spread networks.

Let me know if any of these ideas help.

Cheers,
Ryan
