Abstract

The paper describes an ad hoc approach realized in a practical distributed transport layer called Xpand [1] to improve the message transmission service over a WAN. The current technology focuses on applications that require strong semantics. The ad hoc membership approach increases the asynchrony of handling both control and message flows in order to overcome membership changes with minimal effect on ongoing streams of messages. This approach is beneficial for a variety of applications. Its implementation is expandable to address stronger semantics for applications that need them.
