Aeron 提供高效可靠的單播和多播消息傳輸機(jī)制。

相關(guān)技術(shù)術(shù)語(yǔ)：

• 傳輸介質(zhì): 可通過(guò)UDP、InfiniBand、共享內(nèi)存等

• 介質(zhì)驅(qū)動(dòng): Driver for read/writing to/from transmission media for Aeron.

• 發(fā)布者: This is the client application which emits messages.

• 發(fā)送者: The media driver which sends the messages produced by the client publisher.

• 接收者: The media driver which receives messages send by the Sender.

• 訂閱者: The client application which is receiving messages.

• 驅(qū)動(dòng)訂閱 Driver Subscription: The media driver in charge of message receipt. These messages are passed on to client Subscription applications.

• 會(huì)話 Session: A unique invocation of Aeron that identifies a single Publication and all Subscriptions for that Publication.

• 會(huì)話ID Session ID: A unique identifier for a Session.

• 頻道 Channel: A transmission media needs to have a means of identifying a flow of data and the addressing model of the media. For Aeron, this is called a Channel. For different transmission media, the channel is defined differently. In general, a URI is used for specifying a channel.

• 物理來(lái)源 Physical Source: Source of a Session.

• 物理接收者 Physical Receiver: Receiver of a Session.

• 流 Stream: A Session carries sub-sessions within it. Streams are these sub-sessions.

• 流ID Stream ID: A unique identifier for a Stream. A value of 0 is reserved.

• Term: A section of data within a Stream. Each Term is associated with a Media Driver send and receive buffer. The length of a Term must be a factor of two and must be the same length on both ends.

• Term ID: A unique identifier for a Term within a Stream. Starts randomly. Must increase monotonically. Can wrap around. Can not go back to a wrapped value.

• Term Offset: Identifier of a single byte within the Term. Always start at 0. This is the number of the byte within a given term starting from the beginning.

• Frame: The unit of data for Aeron. Measured in bytes. The transmission media may include multiple Frames into a single packet of data for batching.

• Message (aka APDU): The unit of data for the application. APDU means APplication Data Unit. A single Message may be fragmented over multiple Frames. Alternatively, a single Message may fit into a single Frame. A message, all of its fragments, must fit into a single Term.

• Fragment: The unit of data for a fragmented Message that fits into a single Frame.
