Log Message:
Update spread4 to 4.4.0.
Features:
- New accelerated ring protocol tailored for data center networks.
This protocol provides 30%-50% higher throughput and 20-35% lower latency
in modern local area networks. Both the original protocol and the accelerated
ring protocol are available in this version.
- More efficient packet packing.
- Windows project files now build again.
- New spread-service project to make Spread into a proper Windows service.
- Needs testing from the community!
- Additional and improved MEMBERSHIP and PROTOCOL logging.
Improvements:
- Remove named pipe for accepting UNIX socket connections on exit
- Allow token sizes up to 64KB (uses IP fragmentation may exacerbate loss
-- will log a warning) rather than hard failure if > 1.5KB
- Send bcast retransmissions immediately rather than queue to suppress
unnecessary re-requests in accelerated protocol
Bug fixes:
- EVS bugs:
- Set Aru to 0 when we transition to EVS.
- Ignore Token->seq when in EVS.
- Fixed Backoff_membership referring to wrong packet when ring breaks in EVS.
- Fixed token retransmissions while transitioning from EVS to OP.
- Token bugs:
- Token->aru calculaton fixed; Set_aru eliminated.
- Ignore tokens from wrong membership + sender.
- Alarm on Windows:
- Alarm(EXIT) now exits with non-zero code instead of aborting.
- Fixed long log lines crash bug.
- Allow ports >= 2^15 to be used.
- Turned off Nagle algorithm in Java library.
