Directional Gossip: Gossip in a Wide Area Network

Tags:
local area networks (lan)

Overview A reliable multicast protocol ensures that all of the intended recipients of a message m that do not fail eventually deliver m. For example, consider the reliable multicast protocol of , and consider a message m, sent by process p1, that is intended to be delivered by p1, p2, and p3. This paper imposes a directed spanning tree on these processes that is rooted at the message source. For example, for m the user could have the directed spanning tree p1-> p2-> p3. The message m propagates down this spanning tree and acknowledgments of the receipt of m propagate back up the tree.
