The number of management servers in an experiment environment is generally less than the number of experiment nodes. This creates one-to-many communication when transferring data such as OS disk images. Recent experiment support software utilizes unicast communication for such types of data transfer, but this decreases the operational reliability of the software due to traffic congestion. To address this issue and increase reliability we propose the use of multicast communication. This paper investigates the requirements of reliable multicast for centralized testbeds using analysis and different considerations. misc: @inproceedings{simabuki:eccs2011, author = {Shingo Yasuda, Kunio Akashi, Tomoya Inoue, Toshiyuki Miyachi, Shinsuke Miwa, Ken-ichi Chinen and Yoichi Shinoda}, title = {Requirements of Large Data Distribution Mechanism for Large-Scale Network Testbed}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd European Conference of Computer Science (ECCS '11)}, month = {Dec}, year = {2011}, }
