ABSTRACT:
A novel mechanism efficiently synchronizes the contents of databases stored on nodes of a computer network to-ensure that those contents are consistent. The mechanism comprises a database identifier generated by a node of the computer network and distributed to other receiving nodes coupled to the network. The database identifier is uniquely representative of the contents of the distributing node's database and the receiving nodes compare this unique identifier with their own generated database identifiers to determine if the identifiers, and thus their databases, are consistent and synchronized.
