Abstract

See full text

In a distributed network comprising a plurality of peer (as opposed to master-slave) computers, a method of file shadowing allows each peer computer to maintain copies of data entries originated by the other peer computers in near-real time. Each computer assigns a unique serial number to each entry, and forwards each entry with the serial number and an identification of itself to all the other computers. Each computer informs each other computer of the highest sequential serial number received from it, and each computer resends to each other computer all entries having serial numbers higher than that acknowledged by each other computer.
