Abstract:

This paper presents a transport-level multicast protocol that is useful for building faulttolerant group-based applications. It provides (i) reliable, end-to-end message delivery, and (ii) a failure supector service wherein best eoeorts are made to avoid mistakes. This service facilitates an eOEcient, 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 AEow- and implosion- control, and for recovering from packet losses. Through simulations, its performance is studied for both homogeneous and heterogeneous network congurations. The results are very encouraging.
