WPaxos: Wide Area Network Flexible Consensus

WPaxos: Ruling the Archipelago with Fast Consensus

WPaxos is a multileader Paxos protocol that provides low-latency and high-throughput consensus across widearea network (WAN) deployments. Unlike statically partitioned multiple Paxos deployments, WPaxos perpetually adapts to the changing access locality through object stealing. Multiple concurrent leaders coinciding in different zones steal ownership of objects from each other using phase-1 of ...

Flexible Application Driven Network Striping over Wireless Wide Area Networks

Inverse multiplexing, or network striping, allows the construction of a high-bandwidth virtual channel from a collection of multiple low-bandwidth network channels. Striping systems usually employ a packet scheduling policy that allows applications to be oblivious of the way in which packets are routed to specific network channels. Though this is appropriate for many applications, many other ap...

Wide Area Network Ecology

In an ideal world the need to provide data communications between facilities separated by a large ocean would be filled simply. One would estimate the bandwidth requirement, place an order with a global telecommunications company, then just hook up routers on each end and start using the link. Our experience was considerably more painful, primarily due to three factors: 1) The behavior of some ...

Flexible Communication Protocol for Wide-area Group

In distributed applications, a group of multiple processes is required to be cooperated by exchanging multimedia data. In addition, world-wide distributed applications are being realized by using the Internet. The traditional group communication protocols assume that every pair of processes support almost the same and xed delay time and reliability level. In world-wide multimedia applications, ...
