Title: Method for determining node state on network consisting of a plurality of connected data processing nodes, and/or method for determining node liveness
Inventor: CHANG CHUN-SHI
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for determining a node 'liveness' state in a distributed data processing network. SOLUTION: The determination of node and/or adapter liveness in a distributed network data processing system is carried out via a first messaging protocol that can be assisted by a second messaging protocol, which is significantly less susceptible to delay, especially memory blocking delays encountered by daemons running on other nodes, compared with the first message protocol. The switching of the protocols is accompanied by controlled grace periods for needed responses. The messaging protocol flexibility is also adapted for use as a mechanism for controlling the deliberate activities of node addition (birth) and node deletion (death).
