Abstract
This paper presents a Group Communication Service suitable for
standard workstations. The communication service is designed to take
advantage of the technology offered by modern standard Local Area
Networks and offers a very versatile multi-primitive interface to its
users. The authors focus on the design and implementation of the
communication service, and of the software modules necessary to
exploit specific network and operating system properties. Additionally
performance results are given and evaluated in the context of
comparable systems.
