Abstract:
A method for operating a distributed computing system includes transmitting, by a first node in a first level to an intermediate node in a second level, a first message and storing, by the first node, the first message. The method further includes receiving, by the intermediate node, the first message, generating a second message, and transmitting, to a third node, the second message. The method additionally includes receiving, by the intermediate node from the third node, a first acknowledgement message indicating that the second message was successfully received by the third node, and transmitting, by the intermediate node to the first node after receiving the first acknowledgement message, a second acknowledgement message. The method includes deleting, by the first node in response to receiving the second acknowledgment message, the stored first message.

Claim (Index 14):
An intermediate node in a distributed computing system including a plurality of nodes connected in a general network topological sequential manner resulting in M levels, wherein M is a natural number greater than or equal to 3, and wherein each of the M levels includes at least one node, the intermediate node comprising:\n a processor being configured to:\n receive a first message transmitted by a first node in a first of the M levels and stored by the first node, \n generate, after receiving the first message from the first node, a second message, \n transmit, to a third node in a third of the M levels, the second message, \n receive, from the third node, a first acknowledgement message indicating that the second message was successfully received by the third node, \n store, in response to receiving the first acknowledgment message, a node state, and \n transmit, to the first node after receiving the first acknowledgment message, a second acknowledgement message.
