On the Performance of a Retransmission-Based Synchronizer

Résumé

Designing algorithms for distributed systems that provide a round abstraction is often simpler than designing for those that do not provide such an abstraction. However, distributed systems need to tolerate various kinds of failures. The concept of a synchronizer deals with both: It constructs rounds and allows masking of transmission failures. One simple way of dealing with transmission failures is to retransmit a message until it is known that the message was successfully received. We calculate the exact value of the average rate of a retransmission-based synchronizer in an environment with probabilistic message loss, within which the synchronizer shows nontrivial timing behavior. The theoretic results, based on Markov theory, are backed up with Monte Carlo simulations.
