Abstract

Many reliable group communication algorithms were presented to satisfy predetermined message ordering properties in small or medium-scale distributed systems. However, the previous algorithms with their strong reliability properties may be unappropriate for large-scale systems. To address this issue, some epidemic-style group communication algorithms were proposed for considerably improving scalability while guaranteeing the reasonably weaker reliability property than the existing ones. The algorithms are all designed for ensuring the atomic order message delivery property. But, some distributed applications such as multimedia systems and collaborative work, may require only the weaker message ordering property, i.e., causal order delivery. This paper proposes an efficient epidemic-style group communication algorithm ensuring causal order delivery to provide the indigenous scalability of the epidemic-style approach.

소 중규모 분산 시스템에서 기결정된 메시지 순서화 속성들을 만족시키기 위한 많은 신뢰성 있는 그룹통신 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 그러나, 엄격한 신뢰성을 보장해야 하는 기존 알고리즘들은 대규모 시스템에 적합하지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 기존 알고리즘에 비해 합리적으로 보다 약한 신뢰성을 보장하는 동시에 확장성을 매우 향상시키기 위한 전염형 그룹통신 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 이러한 알고리즘들은 모두 원자적 메시지 순서 전달 속성을 보장하도록 설계되었다. 그러나, 멀티미디어 시스템 및 협력 작업과 같은 분산 애플리케이션들이 보다 약한 메시지 순서 전달 속성인 인과적 순서 전달만을 요구한 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 전염형 기법의 고유한 확장성을 유지하면서, 인과적 순서 전달을 보장하는 효율적인 전염형 그룹 통신 알고리즘을 제안한다.
