The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper presents a transport-level multicast protocol that is useful for building fault-tolerant group-based applications. It provides (i) reliable, end-to-end message delivery, and (ii) a failure suspector service wherein best efforts are made to avoid mistakes. This service can facilitate an efficient, higher level implementation of group membership service which does not capriciously exclude a functioning and connected member from the membership set. The protocol has mechanisms for flow and implosion- control, and for recovering from packet losses. Through simulations, its performance is studied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous network configurations. The results are very encouraging.
