Performance and Evaluation of Message Transmission Mechanism in Operation Management Platform of ForCES Routers

Operation management platform (OMP) is the hotspot of research for the prototype of ForCES routers. This paper presents an analysis and evaluation of the message transmission mechanism in OMP. First, we construct an experimental environment and analyze some commonly-used message transmission mechanisms on Web application. Furthermore, according to the main requirements and characteristics of messages in OMP of ForCES routers at present, we adopt http object stream and socket for the implementation and we have carried out an experiment to compare the performance of http object stream with socket. Results show that http object stream and socket have their own advantages and disadvantages in different operations of message transmission. At last some rational suggestions are given.
