Gossip-based communication protocols are attractive in cases where absolute delivery
guarantees are not required due to their scalability, low overhead, and probabilistically high …

Most existing communications technologies are either not scalable at all or scale only under
carefully controlled conditions. This threatens an emerging generation of mission-critical but …

Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable
and resilient to network dynamics. Load-balancing is inherent in these protocols as the …

Efficient information dissemination is one of the challenging tasks in most ad-hoc network
application domains, be it in wireless sensor networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, or vehicular …

A large number of gossip protocols have been developed in the last few years to address a
wide range of functionalities. So far, however, very few software frameworks have been …

The growth of the Internet raises new challenges for the design of distributed systems and
applications. In the context of group communication protocols, gossip-based schemes have …

Gossip, or epidemic, protocols have emerged as a powerful strategy to implement highly
scalable and resilient reliable broadcast primitives. Due to scalability reasons, each …

Gossip protocols are known to be highly robust in scenarios with high churn, but if the data
that is being gossiped becomes corrupted, a protocol's very robustness can make it hard to …

Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable
and resilient to network dynamics. They are also considered highly flexible, namely tunable …

Gossip-based content dissemination protocols are a scalable and cheap alternative to
centralized content sharing systems. However, it is well known that these protocols suffer …
