Abstract

In most communication networks, when two processors wish to communicate, they try to send messages over a single path connecting them. We present communication efficient protocols that quickly detect and locate any failure along the path. Whenever there is excessive delay in forwarding the message along the path, the protocols detect a failure (even if the failure is malicious). The protocols ensure optimal time for either message delivery or failure detection. We prove a tight lower and upper bound of θ(n log n) on the message complexity of time optimal protocols that do not delay acknowledgements. The upper bound improves upon previous results.
