Abstract :
In distributed systems, group communication among multiple entities is required in addition to the conventional one-to-one communication. Group communication protocols provide multiple entities with reliable data transmission service, i.e. messages are delivered to all the destination entities in the group. It is also important to guarantee that every application entity can receive messages in a well-defined order in the presence of multiple entities sending messages. The paper discusses logical properties of the group communication. It presents communication protocols to provide various kinds of group communication services and evaluate the protocols
