Abstract

We here at Cattox Labs have been greatly influenced by Cheriton and Skeen's recent paper [1]; so influenced, in fact, that although previous versions of our Cattox Programmers Toolkit contained both causally and totally ordered multicast, we decided to remove them. This paper describes our experience. If you haven't already done so you should read their paper now.
