Summary:A method of execution retry for bypassing software faults based on checkpointing, rollback, message reordering, and replaying is described. The authors demonstrate how rollback techniques, previously developed for transient hardware failure recovery, can also be used to recover from software errors by exploiting message reordering to bypass software faults. The approach intentionally increases the degree of nondeterminism and the scope of rollback when a previous retry fails. Examples from experience with telecommunications software systems illustrate the benefits of the scheme
