Cloud Computing (9)--gossip/epidemic Ptotocol

Gossip/epidemic Ptotocol solved the problem is multicast problem

Multicast

Unlike broadcast, broadcast sends the message to the entire network,multicast to send the message to a particular group of nodes (a group of processes) multicast

Multicast protocol Demand--fault tolerance, scalability

Multicast protocol in the network layer is application level, that is, it does not process underlying network. But this is not certain, multicast protocal also often with underlying Network communication (such as IP multicast).
