DB - Designing Distributed Systems Using Approximate Synchrony

Title : Designing Distributed Systems Using Approximate Synchrony in Data Center Networks.pdf Distributed systems are traditionally designed independently from the underlying network, making worst-case assumptions (e.g., complete asynchrony) about its behavior. However, many of today’s distributed applications are deployed in data centers, where the network is more reliable, predictable, and extensible. In these environments, it is possible to co-design distributed systems with their network
