Abstract: A plurality of forwarding servers is communicatively coupled to a plurality of sending systems via a network. A first forwarding server associated with a first geographical region includes an interface that receives a first request for a resource from a first sending system via the network. A determination logic determines whether one or more requests that precede the first request are received from the first sending system at a second forwarding server associated with a second geographical region. A causation logic causes the first request to be forwarded to a second endpoint associated with the second geographical region rather than a first endpoint associated with the first geographical region at least partly based on an inference that the first sending system is located in the second geographical region.

Abstract: A technology is provided for adapting a quorum size of messaging nodes in a service provider environment. An adaptive quorum evaluation is executed to determine a number of messaging nodes for a quorum of messaging nodes. A messaging environment trigger is identified to change the number of messaging nodes used for the quorum of messaging nodes. The number of messaging nodes used for the quorum of messaging nodes is changed based on the messaging environment trigger. Data for the message is synchronized with a quorum of messaging nodes before delivering the message.

Abstract: Optimized message flooding is provided for time sensitive or real-time contacting of nodes across a distributed platform. The propagation of messaging across the distributed platform is accelerated based on a parallel fan-out distribution of the flood messaging from increasing numbers of nodes with the distribution occurring over existing connections maintained between different sets of nodes. Responses are propagated via a reverse traversal of the nodes. The reverse traversal is optimized by merging responses at different tiers. A set of triggers set at the different nodes specify conditions with which to identify and preempt the slowest nodes of a lower tier from withholding message flooding completion. As such, desired messaging and responses can be collected from across the distributed platform in a determinate amount of time with minimal overhead.
