An analysis of replication strategies for X.500-like distributed directories

The X.500 standard for distributed directories is now in its second cycle of definition and is close to completion. There is, however, much work remaining regarding issues of replication. The success of the standard is predicated on a workable replication strategy. The authors look at replication algorithms in the context of X.500-like distributed directories, report on the performance of some, and include an assessment and recommendations for the future.<
