Data replication is a key technology in distributed systems that enables higher availability
and performance. This article surveys optimistic replication algorithms. They allow replica …

Existing surveys of research into software-defined networking (SDN) make only minimal
mention of multicasting. We present a survey of existing multicast routing protocols in …

An example system includes a service proxy controller and a number of service proxy
workers. The service proxy controller is configured for providing routing policies for a …

The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute large, rich content to a vast
number of autonomous receivers motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast …

Featuring contributions from major technology vendors, industry consortia, and government
and private research establishments, the Industrial Communication Technology Handbook …

There are many methods for making a multicast protocol “reliable.” At one end of the
spectrum, a reliable multicast protocol might offer tomicity guarantees, such as all-or-nothing …

Gossip-based broadcast algorithms, a family of probabilistic broadcast algorithms, trade
reliability guarantees against" scalability" properties. Scalability in this context has usually …

The IP multicast model allows scalable and efficient multi-party communication, particularly
for groups of large size. However, deployment of IP multicast requires substantial …

In supporting many distributed applications, such as group text messaging, file sharing, and
joint editing, a basic requirement is the efficient and robust synchronization of knowledge …

Multicast services have been increasingly used by various continuous media applications.
The QoS requirements of these continuous media applications prompt the necessity for QoS …
