- automatically adjusts and optimizes NAK production.
- allows customers to configure the allocation of bandwidth to ODATA and RDATA.
- facilitates distributed applications that are not feasible with unicast technology
- enables highly scalable and reliable one-to-many data multicasting over most existing networks
- scales applications to a large number of users without increasing network bandwidth or server requirements
- reduces data distribution costs and bandwidth requirements by eliminating redundant transmissions
- distributes rich data content including XML, video, audio and graphics files to multiple sites in a highly efficient manner
- TIBCO SmartSockets Multicast is equally well-suited to terrestrial or satellite environments and to any data type
- ensures reliable IP multicasting over satellite—uniquely adapted to provide simple, reliable and efficient content deployment over satellite, one of the most cost-effective and practical network environments for multicast applications
- provides alternative, flexible recovery tools to match any need
- improves network efficiency
- optimizes real-time data delivery through data stream recovery
- routers are utilized in a manner that helps to reduce NAK traffic
- no control traffic generated if no loss occurs
- support for Forward Error Correction (FEC)
- proactive FEC when loss is uniform
- reactive FEC for efficient random loss recovery
- delayed FEC to recover from heavy amounts of loss, that is, greater than 1 minute
- a buffering model that allows late join support
- support for aggregated NAKs
- bandwidth rate control which can be set for all group channels between an RTgms process and RTservers or dynamically for specified group channels
