Selective total-ordering group communication on single high-speed channel

In group communication, multiple processes have to receive messages in some order. We discuss a group communication protocol which supports a selective total-ordered (ST) and atomic delivery of messages to the destinations in a group of processes interconnected by a high-speed channel, where the processes may fail to receive messages due to the buffer overruns. That is, each process receives messages destined to it in the sending order and any two common destinations of messages are received in the same order. Its execution is controlled in a distributed scheme, i.e. no master controller.<
