Class CausalDemo

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Runnable

    public class CausalDemo
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Runnable
    Simple causal demo where each member bcast a consecutive letter from the alphabet and picks the next member to transmit the next letter. Start a few instances of CausalDemo and pass a paramter "-start" to a CausalDemo that initiates transmission of a letter A. All participanting members should have correct alphabet. DISCARD layer has been added to simulate lost messages, thus forcing delaying of delivery of a certain alphabet letter until the causally prior one has been received. Remove CAUSAL from the stack and witness how FIFO alone doesn't provide this guarantee.
