PEER-TO-PEER QUORUM SENSING

摘要

Disclosed are embodiments configured to detect a quorum of peers in a peer to peer network. In one embodiment, a first peer receives a message originating in a second peer, where the message includes a peer identifier. The peer identifier is stored in quorum detection data in response to determining that the peer identifier is not already present in the quorum detection data. A quorum of the peers is detected based at least in part on the quorum detection data.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a first one of a plurality of peers configured to communicate with at least one of a plurality of second ones of the peers on a peer-to-peer network, each one of the peers comprising a computer system including a processor and a memory; a quorum sensing application implemented in the first one of the peers, the quorum sensing application being configured to:
receive a message originating in a second one of the peers, the message including at least one peer identifier listed in association with a corresponding at least one property value;write the at least one peer identifier in association with the corresponding at least one property value in a memory associated with the first one of the peers when the at least one peer identifier does not exist in the memory;detect whether a quorum of peer identifiers exist in the memory that are associated with respective property values that match a predefined criteria; andimplement a predefined action in the first one of the peers upon detecting the quorum.
