Abstract

Group communication protocols are used in fault-tolerant systems to maintain strong replica consistency. The Fault-Tolerant Multicast Protocol (FTMP) described here is a group communication protocol specifically designed for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). FTMP operates over IP Multicast, and consists of the Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) that provides reliable source-ordered message delivery, the Reliable Ordered Multicast Protocol (ROMP) that provides reliable totally-ordered message delivery, and the Processor Group Membership Protocol (PGMP) that provides processor group membership services.
