Abstract

A big data file transport (BDFT) protocol is presented that minimize overheads associated with packet streaming in Java. The BDFT protocol relies on block 1-data transfers, and the elimination of unnecessary data copying between the application layer and the send socket in the standard Java IO model. The implementation uses the Java New IO (NIO) and the Zerocopy libraries. Several experiments are described and results compared against the standard Java IO - a stream-based file transport protocol. The motivation for this study is the development of a client/server big data file transport protocol for tablet-class client machines that rely on the Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) package for distributed computing.
