Adaptive gossip-based broadcast

Authors:

Abstract
This paper presents a novel adaptation mechanism thatallows every node of a gossip-based broadcast algorithmto adjust the rate of message emission 1) to the amountof resources available to the nodes within the same broadcastgroup and 2) to the global level of congestion in thesystem. The adaptation mechanism can be applied to allgossip-based broadcast algorithms we know of and makestheir use more realistic in practical situations where nodeshave limited resources whose quantity changes...
