  • Efficient broadcast of data in a communication network
    Patent number: 8340131
    Abstract: A system (and a method) are disclosed for reliably disseminating a state of a node in a large network consisting of nodes with constrained resources. The system comprises a process embodied by a state machine comprised of an advertise state, a request state, and a share state. The system processes input events, mutates its internal state, and outputs side effects. The outputs from one node in the network may become inputs events to one or more other nodes in the network. Viral dissemination is an emergent behavior across the nodes in a network that all independently and continuously perform these input processings, state mutations, and output side effects.
