Abstract
In computer networks with decentralized control, it is necessary to provide a distributed query mechanism whereby a node can dynamically discover the location of a remote resource. In this paper, we propose a query mechanism based on flooding with feedback which uses no more than two messages over any link. We examine the fault tolerant aspects of this distributed query mechanism, operating in a network with potentially faulty links and nodes and show that it achieves a form of fault tolerance. We then construct enhancements to this mechanism to show that with some increase in message complexity, it can satisfy a stronger form of fault tolerance.
