Abstract
Device, system and method of group communication. For example, a computing apparatus capable of performing group communication may include a group communication service to communicate as a member of a group-communication-system including a plurality of members linked according to a distributed-hash-table overlay network topology, wherein the group communication service is to link to a set of one or more of the plurality of members according to the distributed-hash-table overlay network topology, and to route to a selected member of the set a group-communication-service message, intended for a destination member of the plurality of members. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims25
A computing apparatus capable of performing group communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a group communication service to communicate as a member of a group-communication-system including a plurality of members linked according to a distributed-hash-table overlay network topology,
- wherein said group communication service is to link to a set of one or more of said plurality of members according to said distributed-hash-table overlay network topology, and to route to a selected member of said set a group-communication-service message intended for a destination member of said plurality of members.
A method of group communication, the method comprising:
- constructing a distributed-hash-table overlay network topology to associate between a plurality of members of a group-communication-system;
- and
- routing a group-communication message from a first member of said plurality of members to a second member of said plurality of members over said distributed-hash-table overlay network topology.
A group communication system comprising:
- a plurality of members logically linked according to a distributed-hash-table overlay network topology,
- wherein a first member of said plurality of members is capable of routing a group-communication message to a second member of said plurality of members over said distributed-hash-table overlay network topology.
A computer program product comprising a computer-useable medium including a computer-readable program, wherein the computer-readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- communicate as a member of a group-communication-system including a plurality of members linked according to a distributed-hash-table overlay network topology by linking to a set of one or more of said plurality of members according to said distributed-hash-table overlay network topology;
- and
- route to a selected member of said set a group-communication-service message intended for a destination member of said plurality of members.
