Abstract

Grapevine is a distributed, replicated system that provides message delivery, naming, authentication, resource location, and access control services in an internet of computers.The system, described in a previous paper [1], was designed and implemented several years ago.We now have had operational experience with the system under substantial load.In this paper we report on what we have learned from using Grapevine.
