Abstract
A multicasting method in a distributed cache environment is provided. The multicasting method includes steps of: (a) a specific distributed cache server among a plurality of distributed cache servers in the distributed cache environment, transmitting certain messages to client nodes including at least one another distributed cache server among the plurality of distributed cache servers in the distributed cache environment through multicast and then sequentially registering, in an unacknowledged message map, UNACK messages representing messages without their corresponding ACK messages from their corresponding client nodes among the certain messages; and (b) the specific distributed cache server checking the number of the UNACK messages registered in the unacknowledged message map and, if the number reaches a first predetermined number, stopping transmission of additional messages to the client nodes through the multicast.
