Abstract
This paper describes Transis, a communication subsystemfor high availability. Transis is a transportlayer that supports reliable multicast services. Themain novelty is in the efficient implementation usingbroadcast. The basis of Transis is automatic maintenanceof dynamic membership. The membership algorithmis symmetrical, operates within the regular flowof messages, and overcomes partitions and re-merging.The higher layer provides various multicast servicesfor sets of processes.1...Keywords
