As usual, it can be found on the project homepage: http://tdrwww.iem.uni-due.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ .RSPLIB is the Open Source implementation (GPLv3) of the IETF's upcoming standard for Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool). It provides protocols and functionalities for the management of server pools and sessions between users and pools. In particular, RSerPool takes care for server selection and session failover support among servers of a pool. The RSPLIB package contains a library for the session communication (the rsplib), an implementation of the pool management component (registrar) as well as multiple example service implementations. Details on RSerPool and the RSPLIB can be found on the project's website: http://tdrwww.iem.uni-due.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ . The web site now also includes a demonstration video.Version 2.4.0 is the first stable version containing the Scripting Service client and server as one of the example applications. The Scripting Service allows for shell-script based distribution of workload to remote machines: an application can create a workload package (a Tar/GZip) archive consisting of a work script and input data. This archive is distributed by the Scripting Service client to a remote machine running a Scripting Service server. On this remote machine, the workload package is unpacked, the worker script is processed and finally the results are packed and sent back to the client. Using the Scripting Service, workload distribution can be realized with a few lines of shell code. An example for distributing OMNeT++ simulation runs can be found here: http://www.exp-math.uni-essen.de/~dreibh/omnetpp/ . [08:08:45] On February 20 and 21, we have successfully tested ASAP and ENRP interoperability between the implementations RSPLIB (Thomas Dreibholz, University of Duisburg-Essen - http://tdrwww.exp-math.uni-essen.de/dreibholz/rserpool/) and an implementation of an ENRP server developed by the Münster University of Applied Sciences (Michael Tüxen, Frank Volkmer).Participants:- Thomas Dreibholz (University of Duisburg-Essen)- Holger Eppert (Münster University of Applied Sciences)- Michael Tüxen (Münster University of Applied Sciences)- Frank Volkmer (Münster University of Applied Sciences)Features tested:- ASAP auto-configuration via UDP multicast announces- ASAP PE registration and deregistration- ASAP PE monitoring by keep-alives- ASAP handle resolution- ENRP auto-configuration via UDP multicast announces- ENRP List Request and Response- ENRP Handle Table Request and Response- ENRP Update handling- ENRP handlespace audit by checksum- All tested over IPv4 and IPv6 [08:14:02] --- thomas.dreibholz has left
