Performance Measurements for NaradaBrokering Enhanced GridFTP

In this paper, we discuss reliable and secure file transfer middleware called NaradaBrokering. It is our goal to show that reliability features can be decoupled from the implementation of the service and protocol, and instead placed into the messaging substrate. This will allow us to provide file transfer quality of service comparable to GridFTP in other file transfer tools (such as normal FTP, SCP, HTTP uploads, and similar mechanisms).
