Abstract
This paper presents a Group Communication Service suitable for standard
workstations. The communication service is designed to take advantage
of the technology offered by modern standard Local Area Networks and offers
a very versatile multi-primitive interface to its users. The
authors focus on the design and implementation of the communication service,
and of the software modules necessary to exploit specific network and operating
system properties. Additionally performance results are given and
evaluated in the context of comparable systems.
