!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a procedure or process of computer-computer communication that is based on the way social networks disseminate information or how epidemics spread.
[{$pagename}] is a [telecommunications] [protocol]. Modern [distributed Data Stores] often use [{$pagename}] to solve problems that might be difficult to solve in other ways, either because the underlying [network] has an inconvenient structure, is extremely large, or because [{$pagename}] solutions are the most efficient ones available.
[{$pagename}] uses a [Peer-to-peer] [{$pagename}] [network] that maintains [membership] information and provides a messaging and [broadcast] service. For a clean separation of concerns, this layer does not make use of [cryptography].
[{$pagename}] implements peer exchange such that [nodes] can be given the [IP Address] of a single [node] that is part of the [network], and after that, the joining [node] can automatically discover [peers] that are a part of the [network].
This is done through a simple peer exchange [protocol] where nodes periodically poll known peers for their peer lists. After learning about new peers, the nodes verify that the peers are reachable and add them to their own peer list. Periodically, nodes ping peers, and if no response is received, the peers are marked as dead and the node stops sending them messages.
The protocol also implements a messaging and [broadcast] service. Nodes using the [protocol] can send a [message] to a single peer or [broadcast] a message to all known peers. Due to the nature of dynamic membership, the messaging protocol does not provide guaranteed message delivery. Fault tolerance in this area is implemented
in higher layers.
