of reliable broadcast protocols • Simple protocol Select t nodes at random, send the message; on initial receipt, forward to t nodes • Load distribution Distributes the load evenly amongst all of the nodes in the system 4
views to become disconnected • Repair Repair may take more rounds of membership to repair • Dissemination during failure Negative impact on message delivery during failure and repair periods 8
neighbor relation between nodes in the system • Directed graph Overlay network is a direct graph that captures the neighbor relation between all nodes in the system 19
a message has to cross to reach a node • Average Path Length Sum of the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes • Latency Related to message delivery latency, as it represents the path that must be taken to reach a node 27
divided by the possible maximum of edges across nodes • Redundancy Related to the number of redundant messages that will be received during dissemination 28
divided by the possible maximum of edges across nodes • Redundancy Related to the number of redundant messages that will be received during dissemination • Clustering High-values of this coefficient related to how easy it is for nodes to become isolated 28
failed divided by the number of neighbors • Low values Low values mean that failed nodes will be targeted for gossip more frequently • Fanout Requires higher fanout value to mask these failures 29
fixed in size • “InView” Nodes that messages are received from • Isolated nodes Detected with heartbeating; required to rejoin the cluster on isolation 31
length partial view • Random walk Nodes join the cluster by performing a random walk of the overlay • Shuffle Periodically, view is shuffled with the oldest member of the partial view 32
multiple sources; files, etc. • Bandwidth estimation TCP is used to estimate available bandwidth from available connections • Cache Uses open TCP connections discovered by performing a random walk of the overlay to avoid penalty of opening a new connection 35
target reliability • Quality of views Quality affects required fanout value • TCP and “better” failure detection Results in more cost-effective gossip protocols 40
view • Passive view Larger than log(n); used to ensure connectivity during faults • Minimal overhead Connections are not maintained to the members of the passive view 46
• Symmetric Links are symmetric; nodes have each other in their view • TCP as transport TCP is used as the network transmission protocol • Connection caching Connections are maintained, tested at each step, and used for failure detection for active view members 47
message broadcasts • Deterministic Target selection at each gossip step is deterministic instead of random • Overlay Overlay is created at random from the global membership, through the use of the membership protocol 48
active view on join • Failure Nodes are removed from the active view on failure • Implicitly tested Nodes are checked for failure at every step of the protocol; this result in very fast failure detection 49
dissemination • Replacement Passive view maintained to keep a list of possible replacement nodes for the active view • Cyclic strategy While the active view is maintained using a reactive strategy, the passive view is maintained using a cyclic strategy* 50
dissemination • Replacement Passive view maintained to keep a list of possible replacement nodes for the active view • Cyclic strategy While the active view is maintained using a reactive strategy, the passive view is maintained using a cyclic strategy* • Shuffle At each interval defined by the cyclic strategy, a “shuffle” is performed with another node in the system 50

of nodes from the active view, and members from the passive view • Increases replacement probability Increase probability of having “active” replacement nodes in another node’s passive view 51
cluster, it must join through an existing node in the system: the “contact” node • “Contact” node Always accepts the join and adds to the active view; evicts a member if necessary 52
cluster, it must join through an existing node in the system: the “contact” node • “Contact” node Always accepts the join and adds to the active view; evicts a member if necessary • Forward join request Request is forwarded using a random walk that results in addition to active views (based on size, then TTL), and finally a single passive view based on a walk TTL 52
select random peers from the passive view until one can be found to replace it • Eviction Evict from the passive view when a node can’t be contacted to be a replacement* 53
select random peers from the passive view until one can be found to replace it • Eviction Evict from the passive view when a node can’t be contacted to be a replacement* • Priorities Nodes only accept new nodes as neighbors if they have an open slot, or the requesting node has no members in its active view 53

walk as well • Exchange selection Remote node will shuffle from its passive view only • Integration Only integrate into passive view nodes that are not already contained in sender’s active view 54
of being included in a shuffle increases… …therefore increasing the probability it will be used as a replacement for a failed node in another's active view. 57
CyclonAcked) • Gossip protocol Generic gossip protocol that can be used with any of these membership services • Clustering Clustered at beginning of test without interleaved membership rounds 60
performed at each step increase how fast the system can react • Cyclon/Scamp No failure detector; membership is only repaired at the next membership interval 65
performed at each step increase how fast the system can react • Cyclon/Scamp No failure detector; membership is only repaired at the next membership interval • Scamp / Cyclon Begin experiencing problems at 50% failure rate 65
become isolated • Small average shortest path Reduces latency in message delivery • Balance degree distribution Increased fault tolerance with balanced reachability and importance 68
is smaller than alternative protocols • Small active view Results in fewer distinct paths that can be used for dissemination of messages • Larger average shortest path Doesn’t affect latency, because every single link in the overlay can be used to disseminate messages 69
some unknown nodes • Redundant messages High probability of seeing redundant messages because of distribution • Missing messages Low probability of seeing a message just once 72
known by the maximum amount of possible nodes • Similar number of deliveries With high probability, nodes should receive a message approximately the same amount of time 73
known by the maximum amount of possible nodes • Similar number of deliveries With high probability, nodes should receive a message approximately the same amount of time • No missing messages With low probability, nodes will not receive a single copy of a message 73
a larger (low cost) passive view, maintained by different strategies, offers a better resilience and better resource usage than using a single (large) view with higher fanout. 79
