  • Maintaining caches of object location information in gateway computing devices using multicast messages
    Patent number: 9094466
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to maintaining caches of object location information in gateway computing devices using multicast messages. In example embodiments, upon updating a cache with an object identifier and a corresponding object location, a gateway computing device may transmit an update message using a simple multicast transport protocol to a plurality of other gateway computing devices. In contrast, upon deleting an object from a cache, the gateway computing device may transmit a delete message using a reliable multicast transport protocol to the plurality of other gateway computing devices.
