Abstract

Transis is a high availability distributed system, being developed in the Hebrew University. It supports reliable group communication for high availability applications. The system provides enhanced services for information dissemination and replication in a dynamic environment where machines may crash, for arbitrarily long periods, and may recover; where the network may partition and re-merge. Transis contains novel protocols for reliable message delivery, it optimizes the performance for existing network hardware, and offers a vaxiety of different handles to upper applications. The paper presents the experience gained in the design and the implementation of the Transis communication subsystem.
