IBM MQ Multicast
IBM MQ Multicast offers low latency, high fan out, reliable multicast messaging.
Multicast is an efficient form of publish/subscribe messaging as it can be scale
d to a high number of subscribers without detrimental effects in performance. IB
M MQ enables reliable Multicast messaging by using acknowledgements, negative ac
knowledgments, and sequence numbers to achieve low latency messaging with high f
an out.
IBM MQ Multicast's fair delivery enables near simultaneous delivery, ensuring th
at no recipient gains an advantage. As IBM MQ Multicast uses the network to deli
ver messages, a publish/subscribe engine is not needed to fan-out data. After a
topic is mapped to a group address, there is no need for a queue manager because
publishers and subscribers can operate in a peer-to-peer mode. This allows the
load to be reduced on queue manager servers, and the queue manager server is no
longer a potential point of failure.

Initial multicast concepts
IBM MQ Multicast can be easily integrated into existing systems and applications
by using the Communication Information (COMMINFO) object. Two TOPIC object fiel
ds enable the quick configuration of existing TOPIC objects to support or ignore
multicast traffic.
