Memory consistency is guaranteed by restartable transactions.
Using standard Internet network protocols allows a smooth integration of Plurix nodes into existing network environments. We discuss strategies to support long living TCP connections in our transactional environment where transactions have to be short to minimize collision probability. Finally we present preliminary performance evaluation results of an early prototype which was shown at the CeBIT 2000 fair.
