Abstract

Large scale systems are becoming more and more common today. There are many distributed applications emerging that use the capability of world-wide internetworking. Since a lot of applications need insurance of consistency even in the presence of failures, an adequate support for fault-tolerance is necessary. This can be provided by different paradigms and their implementations. Unfortunately, most of these implementations aim only local area networks, whereas our system, called Phoenix, will aim large scale where additional failure types have to be overcome. This paper shows the problems due to large scale, the limits of actual implementations, and our proposition to solve them.

Local area network

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. By contrast, a wide area network (WAN) not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves leased telecommunication circuits. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies in use for local area networks. Historical network technologies include ARCNET, Token Ring and AppleTalk.

Metropolitan area network

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic region of the size of a metropolitan area. The term MAN is applied to the interconnection of local area networks (LANs) in a city into a single larger network which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network. The term is also used to describe the interconnection of several LANs in a metropolitan area through the use of point-to-point connections between them.

Wide area network

A wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits. Businesses, as well as schools and government entities, use wide area networks to relay data to staff, students, clients, buyers and suppliers from various locations around the world. In essence, this mode of telecommunication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location.
