This paper describes the implementation of a processorgroup membership protocol in an experimental real-time network. The protocol is appropriate for fault-tolerant distributed sy...
Group communication protocols are used in fault-tolerant systems to maintain strong replica consistency. The FaultTolerant Multicast Protocol (FTMP) described here is a group comm...
