4.1.16.3 Server Behavior of the IDL_DRSQuerySitesByCost Method

Informative summary of behavior: Given a site fromSite and an array of sites toSites, the server returns an array that contains the cost from fromSite to each element of toSite, where the cost is defined as follows.

The server computes a weighted graph G = (V, A). Each vertex in V corresponds to a site object. Each arc in A corresponds to a siteLink object that connects two vertices in V; the weight of an arc is the value of attribute cost on the arc's siteLink object. The cost of a path in the graph is the sum of the arc weights on the path. The cost from one site to another is the minimum-cost path between the two sites.

The model just described corresponds to fully transitive communications between sites: If site a communicates with site b and site b communicates with site c, then site a communicates with site c by routing through b. Replication can be configured to restrict transitive communication to sites specified in the same siteLinkBridge object. Suppose there is a siteLink object for site a and site b, and a siteLink object for site b and site c, but no siteLink object for site a and site c. If both of the siteLink objects are specified on the same siteLinkBridge object, site a can communicate with site c by routing through b. If no such siteLinkBridge object exists, site a cannot communicate with site c.

To calculate the cost when siteLinkBridge objects are used, let nBridges be the number of siteLinkBridge objects. For each k in the subrange [0 .. nBridges-1], construct a weighted graph G[k] = (V, A[k]) using siteLinkBridge object b[k]. Graph G[k] has the same vertex set as G, but its arc set A[k] is a subset of A, including only the arcs listed in attribute siteLinkList on siteLinkBridge object b[k]. Then the cost from site a to site c is the minimum of the following costs:

  1. The cost of the arc, if any, from a to c in G.

  2. For each k in the subrange [0 .. nBridges-1], the cost of the minimum cost path, if any, from a to c in G[k].

Any authenticated user can perform this operation; no access checking is performed.<36>
