The Totem Redundant Ring Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group communication protocols greatly simplify the design of fault-tolerant distributed systems. Most of those protocols focus on node redundancy rather than on network redundancy. The Totem Redundant Ring Protocol allows the use of multiple redundant local-area networks. The partial or total failure of a network remains transparent to the application processes. The distributed system remains operational while an administrator reacts to an alarm raised by the Totem Redundant Ring Protocol. The user can choose between active, passive and active-passive replication of the network.

متن کاملA reliable ordered delivery protocol for interconnected local area networks
We present the Totem multiple-ring protocol, a novel reliable ordered multicast protocol for multiple interconnected local-area networks. The protocol exhibits excellent performance and maintains a consistent network-wide total order of messages despite network partitioning and remerging, or processor failure and recovery with stable storage intact. The Totem protocol is designed for fault-tole...
متن کاملProbabilistic Bounds on Message Delivery for the Totem Single-Ring Protocol
For fault-tolerant real-time distributed systems, the probability that a message is not delivered within its real-time deadline must be small enough that it does not adversely aaect system reliability. We investigate the delivery of messages for the Totem Protocol, a reliable ordered broadcast protocol that we have developed for fault-tolerant distributed systems with physical broadcasts over a...
متن کاملThe Totem protocol development environment
We describe the protocol development environment for the Totem protocol, a fault-tolerant communication protocol that provides fast reliable ordered message delivery and membership services. The protocol development environment is a distributed discrete-event simulator that provides a testbed for the controlled testing and debugging of the Totem protocol. Unlike many other protocol simulation e...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Measuring the Latency of the Totem Multicast Protocols
Multicast group communication protocols provide a foundation on which distributed systems can be built. To determine whether these distributed systems can meet their real-time requirements, it is necessary to determine the message delivery latency of the underlying group communication systems. This research determines, by analysis and measurement, the probability density functions (pdfs) for th...
