Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)

摘要

This document describes the Server Cache Synchronization Protocol(SCSP) and is written in terms of SCSP's use within Non BroadcastMultiple Access (NBMA) networks; although, a somewhat straightforward usage is applicable to BMA networks. SCSP attempts to solvethe generalized cache synchronization/cache-replication problem fordistributed protocol entities. However, in this document, SCSP iscouched in terms of the client/server paradigm in which distributedserver entities, which are bound to a Server Group (SG) through somemeans, wish to synchronize the contents (or a portion thereof) oftheir caches which contain information about the state of clientsbeing served.
