Failure cases for status messages put in order
A method note orders the failure cases of distributed status messages and forms the basis for the project on restart behaviour.
Erlangen. In the project Restart of distributed status messages, the Networked Systems research area has compiled the failure cases that can affect status messages after a connection loss. They include delayed, duplicated and outdated messages that look like current states once a link has been interrupted.
The ordering is available as a method note: Error catalogue for status messages. It describes each failure case, the condition under which it occurs and the question of how it could be recognised in a message stream. Within the project, the catalogue serves as a shared basis for comparing state machines and restart rules.
It provides metadata and a short description, not a full text, and it does not represent an investigation that was actually carried out.
