Abstract
The problem of providing a peer with a good approximation of the current group membership in a peer-to-peer (p2p) setting is a key factor to the successful usage of any application-level multicast protocol (e.g. gossip based protocols). A p2p setting makes this problem hard to be solved due to the its inherent dynamic and asynchronous nature. This paper studies the problem of implementing a fully distributed, also called p2p, Membership Notification Service (MNS) which is able to handle any number of simultaneous join and leave while allowing reliable delivering of messages among peers which remain permanently alive inside the group.
The work described in this paper was partially supported by the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research (MIUR) under the IS-MANET project.
