Integrating the ROMIOP and ETF Specifications for Atomic Multicast in CORBA

OMG published a draft specification for a reliable ordered multicast inter-ORB protocol to be used by distributed applications developed in CORBA (ROMIOP). This specification was made to attend the demand of applications that needed more restrictive guarantees on reliability and ordering, since there already has a specification without these resources (UMIOP). This paper presents how ROMIOP was implemented, as well as modifications that were made on the specification to make possible to implement it according to the ETF (Extensible Transport Framework) specification. Performance measures were made comparing ROMIOP with others protocols, like UMIOP, to show its characteristics and its cost.
