Re: [ecf-dev] Speed of the different discovery providers

I think the notion of unicast/multicast is irrelevant in zooDiscovery context.  A client doesn't connect to a server to,first hand,  get registered services on one of its nodes. A client connection in zooDiscovery context is a registration as a node listener so that this client gets called back by the server itself every time there a change (in our case, a service un/registration). So, it's not one re/connection per discovery intent, This implies the work-load is on the server itself notifying in a serialized manner its clients/listeners of all occurring changes. That work-load also depends on how many servers you are deploying (specified by which configuration flavor).

On the fact that Zookeeper requires one unicast connection per client
(doesn't it?).
With large numbers of clients, a multicast connection will considerably
reduce the amount of messages it takes to communicate among all clients.
