| Abstract | We describe a novel scalable group membership algorithm designed for wide area networks (WANs). Our membership service does not evolve from existing LAN-oriented membership services; it was designed explicitly for WANs. Our algorithm provides agreement on membership in a single message round in most cases, yielding a low message overhead. It avoids flooding the network and uses a scalable failure detection service designed for WANs. Furthermore, our algorithm avoids notifying the application of obsolete membership views when the network is unstable, and yet it converges when the network stabilizes. |
