For EC coded stuff,at 10+4 with 13 others needing data apart from the primary, they are specifically NOT getting the same data, they are getting either 1/10th of the pieces, or one of the 4 different checksums, so it would be nasty to send full data to all OSDs expecting a 14th of the data. Den o

Hi, we have a compuverde cluster, and AFAIK it uses multicast for node discovery, not for data distribution. If you need more information, feel free to contact me either by email or via IRC (-> Be-El). Regards, Burkhard ___ ceph-users mailin

I am still testing with ceph mostly, so my apologies for bringing up something totally useless. But I just had a chat about compuverde storage. They seem to implement multicast in a scale out solution. I was wondering if there is any experience here with compuverde and how it compared to ce

It would be an interesting exercise though. Depending on network layout (no cluster network) the client could multicast to all replicas and potentially reduce latency by half. I suspect that the client participating in the replication goes against the internal workings of ceph though and wou

Hi All I was wondering whether multicast could be used for the replication traffic? It just seemed that the outbound network bandwidth from the source could be halved. Cheers ___ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.c
