This paper presents the construction of a multicast service, called agreed multicast, that guarantees that messages arrive reliably and in the same totalorder to all their destinations. ToTo, a novel protocol, implements the agreed multicast service of Transis, a communication sub-system for the High Availability project, currently developed at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This service is desired in distributed systems, and supports high level coordination among groups of processes in distributed applications. The ToTo protocol is genuinely symmetric and fairly simple for implementing. It provides early delivery latency, and requires as little as n, |
