<div>i read the book 'sync'; clustering is easy...at weblogic they udp to ping/pong each other...the same thing all peer-to-peer apps have to do to punch and keep open udp behind a firewall...so you have the messaging...within the pong or ping...sinc your session data...the smaller the better...when recieving a ping/pong and session data has changed...propagate that message with all other known peers...since all low class behind a firewall nodes only talk to relay nodes (aka any other cool name for a computer which is also used to relay messages to childern and to other relay station...leaf,super,open). The relay node will transform your net/mesh/grid's session...and or sessions as the french would say...</div> <div> </div> <div> <BR><B><I>Ranus <networksimulator@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">I ran into the idea of "small-world" last week and
