Multi-Connection Mechanism of Mobile Agent in Grid

Grid is a research hot point in computer industry. In this paper, mobile agents are used as carriers of distributed tasks in grid, which can migrate between grid services autonomously and intelligently. Some mobile agents transmit a great deal of data in high-bandwidth and high-delay grid environment. According to features of grid and mobile agents, a new multiple connection mechanism is proposed. Experiments have proved that this mechanism, in which both transmission delay and package loss is thought as indicator of congestion, have higher transmission speed than the mechanism in which only package loss is thought as indicator of congestion.
