Token passing approach Among the existing multicast techniques, the token passing approach is ....

However, the sequencer still could become a bottleneck or a point of single failure in a large group. A set of logical token ring algorithms were developed in the Totem project by Moser et al. [10, 13, 19] and in the TPM (Token based Protocol for reliable Multicast) project by Rajagopalan and McKinley [11] These algorithms involve passing token explicitly from process to process in THE COMPUTER JOURNAL, Vol. 42, No. 3, 1999 AMULTICAST PROTOCOL BASEDONASINGLE LOGICAL RING 203 order to achieve ....

....Each receiver changes the priority and change the tag of that message as deliverable and sends it to the delivery queue. 6 Partial Order based approach Melliar Smith, Moser and Agrawala explains an approach to find out a partial ordering of the messages without using any explicit sequence number [4]. It consists of two protocols, Trans which uses combination of positive and negative acknowledgements strategies to find an partial order of the messages and achieve efficient reliable broadcast or multicast communication. The next part of the algorithm Total based on Trans with the help of some ....

....received and acknowledged, directly or indirectly, all the messages that precede C in the partial order. 6. 2 Total Protocol for a total order If the system is completely reliable that partial order shown in the previous section is the total order of all the broadcast messages within the group [4]. The protocol incrementally extends the total order by selecting messages from those in the partial order but not yet in the total order. A message in the partial order that does not follow any other message aside from those are in total order is called a candidate message. At any time, there ....

It is based on a three step message exchange, the use of message stamping and broadcast Ethernet messages: The sender broadcasts its message L. The storage processors send point to point ....

.... sequencer . In contrast to the centralized algorithms, for a specific multicast message, a member determines the message (delivery) order and its atomicity only after gathering enough acknowledgements with the subsequent multicast messages. The subsequent multicast messages form a partial order [MSMA90] or a context graph in Psync [PBS89] carrying the positive or negative acks about the previous received messages. Based on the partial order (context graph) a site sees which multicast follows which, therefore, is able to determine a total order or atomic (stable) multicasts within the ....

Transis [2] ISIS(CBCAST) 4] Psync [17] and others [1,16,22] support the causally ordered delivery. Totem [3] ISIS(ABCAST) 4] Ameoba [12] Trans Total [15], and others [5, 20] support the totally ordered delivery.

Next, we consider when each destination process can deliver messages received. Here, let m 1 be a message received by TP i . TP i can deliver m 1 if (1) TP i had delivered every message m 2 such that m 2 m 1 and (2) m 1 is reliably received by all the destinations. How long it takes to ....

....messages from the token holder. The token is (implicitly) passed after every multicast message. A site wanting to multicast a message to the group, sends a request to the token holder (which is calculated, using the number of multicast messages it has received and the size of the ring) The Trans [45] system also provides Atomic Multicast service for a broadcast network. It is based on piggy backing positive acknowledgments on regular messages, and sending explicit negative acknowledgments when messages are missed. The Total [25] protocol builds on the Trans system. It provides total ordering ....

Example Systems In this section we briefly describe six Atomic Multicast algorithms, which we believe represent most of the existing algorithms for Atomic Multicasts. Namely, we describe Chang and Maxemchuk s algorithm [43] Trans Total [45], Transis [24] Totem [26] Isis [22] and Amoeba [23] We discuss the criteria that should be used to compare different algorithms. A brief comparison is made of the six algorithms presented, with their advantages and disadvantages. We also make certain observations about Atomic Multicast ....

It is important to support the causally ordered delivery of messages in the distributed applications. Many group communication protocols [1, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18 22, 24, 25, 28 30] have been discussed so far. They have discussed how to support the atomic and ordered delivery of network messages, i.e. packets at the communication level.

....can be justified for highly available applications, however, less heavier mechanisms such as replicated objects may be more suitable for general purpose object oriented systems. Consistent updating of object copies can benefit from the use of anreliable atomic multicast protocol ( 8] 10] 15] [23]) which guarantees the delivery of all messages in the same order. Some replication work exploits the multicast protocols and layers replication on top of them [3] 7] 14] 25] Usually, the following argument is used against multicast based replication: reliable ordered multicast protocols ....
