This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a CORBA group membership protocol. Using CORBA to implement a group membership protocol enables that protocol to operate in a heterogeneous, distributed computing environment. To evaluate the effect of CORBA on the performance of a group membership protocol, this paper provides a detailed comparison of the performance measured from three implementations of a group membership protocol. One implementation uses UDP sockets, while the other two use CORBA for interprocess communication. The main conclusion is that CORBA can be used to implement high performance group membership protocols. There is some performance degradation due to CORBA, but this degradation can be reduced by carefully choosing an appropriate design.
