Abstract

Rajdoot is a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism with a number of fault tolerance capabilities. A discussion is presented of the reliability-related issues and how these issues have been dealt with in the RPC design. Rajdoot supports exactly-once semantics with call nesting capability, and incorporates effective measures for orphan detection and killing. Performance figures show that the reliability measures of Rajdoot impose little overhead.
