Abstract
Totem: A Reliable Ordered Delivery Protocol for Interconnected Local-Area Networks by Deborah A. Agarwal Many recent computer applications have been designed to execute in a distributed computer system because a distributed system has the potential to provide high availability and excellent performance at a low price. However, due to the need to coordinate tasks and share data among processors, programming the application is often difficult and, thus, this potential is not often realized. A communication protocol that provides reliable totally ordered delivery of messages in a distributed system can greatly simplify the application programmer's task. This dissertation describes a reliable delivery and total ordering protocol, called Totem, that models a communication network as broadcast domains connected by gateways. Processors within a broadcast domain communicate by broadcasting messages. Access to the communication medium is controlled by a token, and reliable delivery is achieved...
