What is NaradaBrokering? Distributed messaging infrastructure Provides support for P2P, Centralised and Distributed
interaction Efficiently routes messages between originator and
registered consumers OBJECTIVE - To provide a recognised open-source
standard for a messaging infrastructure to build SOAs and Grids upon
It is hoped that these results will influence others to use NaradaBrokering as a messaging protocol for their own applications
Motivation Build distributed systems from “interoperable” services linked by messages
(SOAP) – architect capabilities as services Grids are “just” large scale sets of such services Need to support real time streams and NOT just files (collections of messages)
consistent with WS standards (P2P and “central”) Manage messaging for
Optimize communication for bad links, firewalls etc Collaboration (multi-cast streams) Fault tolerance with re-transmitted messages and Replicated Services Replay – access any message at any time Virtual addressing with pub-sub metaphor Performance from protocol (UDP v Parallel TCP ..) and representation Heterogeneous Clients – filter to and from PDA’s
Open Source http://www.naradabrokering.org (4 downloads/day) is a scalable distributed pub-sub system supporting multiple standards (JMS, WS) and subscription methods Implements “Service Internet” and Notification areas of WS-*
Infrastructure Candidate for Axis2-MOM (Message Oriented Middleware) infrastructure
Architecture
NaradaBrokering FeaturesMultiple protocol transport supportIn publish-subscribeParadigm with differentProtocols on each link
Transport protocols supported include TCP, Parallel TCP streams, UDP, Multicast, SSL, HTTP and HTTPS.Communications through authenticating proxies/firewalls & NATs. Network QoS based RoutingAllows Highest performance transport
Subscription Formats Subscription can be Strings, Integers, XPath queries, Regular Expressions, SQL and tag=value pairs.
Reliable delivery Robust and exactly-once delivery in presence of failures
Ordered delivery Producer Order and Total Order over a message type. Time Ordered delivery using Grid-wide NTP based absolute time
Recovery and Replay Recovery from failures and disconnects.Replay of events/messages at any time. Buffering services.
Security Message-level WS-Security compatible security
Message Payload options Compression and Decompression of payloadsFragmentation and Coalescing of payloads

Web Services supported Implementations of WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Reliability and WS-Eventing.
NaradaBrokering Services
Buffering Service
This service is incorporated into the system to facilitate the buffering of events prior to releasing them.
Buffering service time orders events and releases event based on three metrics Number of events in the buffer Size of the buffer Time spent by event in a buffer.
Time Differential Service
This service is essential to reduce jitters in large distributed environments. Networks introduce unpredictable delays that
increase jitter. Service takes events released by buffering
service, and ensures that it preserves time spacing between events.
TDS can provide time spacing resolution of up to 1 millisecond between events.
Reliable Delivery Service Guaranteed delivery in multiple producer/ consumer
settings. Guarantees hold true in the presence of Node/Link Failures Links can lose messages and garble message order. Storage failures: Stores need to recover after
failure. Prolonged entity disconnects
Exactly-Once and Ordered delivery of events Uses both positive & negative acknowledgements Supports Replay and Fast Recovery from failures Independent of underlying archival system. Was used to enhance fault tolerance in Grid-FTP.
Dealing with large payload sizes
To cope with large payloads, the substrate incorporate 2 sets of services.
Compression/Decompression service: The substrate incorporate support for zlib based compression and decompression of payloads.
Fragmentation/Coalescing Service: These service can break up a large payload into smaller fragments. The coalescing service can take these smaller fragments and coalesce them into the original large payload. This was used to deal with transfer of large payloads
(up to 1 GB) in the NB enhanced Grid-FTP application.
Broker Discovery Service
Locates the nearest available broker that a client can connect to Incorporates specialized nodes – broker discovery
nodes – to maintain broker info. Depending on load or security issues, brokers may
decide to respond/ignore discovery requests. If available the scheme can exploit IP multicast for
discovery. Nearest broker determined by ping times, loss rates
and available bandwidth.
Topic Discovery Service
Allows publishers and subscribers to advertise topics.
Creator of topic possesses credentials to indicate ownership of the topic.
Discovery of topics takes into account credentials of client trying to discover topic. Topic owner may restrict discovery to a
limited authorized set of clients. Discovery requests can be made using simple
strings or regular expression queries.
Security Service [ Based on Message Level Security ]
• Messages organized into topics• Each topic has a separate key; Topics can be organized into sessions
Web Services Support Currently we have incorporated support for the following Web
Service specifications WS-Eventing (WSE): This is a publish/subscribe based
notification framework from Microsoft and IBM. WS-ReliableMessaging (WSRM): This is a protocol for
ensuring the guaranteed delivery of SOAP messages between 2 Web Service endpoints. This specification is from IBM and Microsoft.
WS-Reliability (WSR): This is a competing specification from Oracle and Sun in the area of reliable messaging between Web Services.
These handlers are available for use in Axis1.2 or exploiting NB SOAP Intermediary support without a container Axis1.2 version can be used inside container or as a Proxy
Web Services Support – cont..
We are also working on implementing support for the WS-Notification (WSN) suite of specification that is part of the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF).
WS-Notification explicitly adds brokers to Eventing
Note that almost all these specifications leverage the WS-Addressing (WSA) specification. We have incorporated support for all the rules
associated with WSA.
Parallel TCP Streaming
Data transfer across high-performance networks suffers within current TCP implementation due to tendency to hold back maximum bandwidth usage
Can be solved either by using TCP multiple streams in parallel
TCP streams consists of three basic steps: splitting of data into sub packets at sender side sending these sub packets over the network by using multiple
Java socket streams in parallel merging of received sub packets at the receiver side.
TCP Test Observations
• This illustrates the capability of NaradaBrokering to maintain a high speed message delivery performance despite the scaling of message content payload.• Mean transmission delay times start to rise as the payload increase becomes increasingly steep between 1000 and 10000 bytes

Future of NaradaBrokering Support for replicated storages within the system.
In a system with N replicas the scheme can sustain the loss of N-1 replicas.
Clarification and expansion of NB Broker to act as a WS container Integration with Axis 2.0 as Message Oriented Middleware
infrastructure Support for High Performance transport and representation for Web
Services Needs Context catalog under development
Performance based routing The broker network will dynamically respond to changes in the
network based on metrics gathered at individual broker nodes. Replicated publishers for fault tolerance Pure client P2P implementation (originally we linked to JXTA) Security Enhancements for fine-grain topic authorization, multi-cast
keys, Broker attacks
