ABSTRACT:
In a distributed peer-to-peer data processing system, consistency and access to a global resource maintained on one of the nodes is provided through the use of global incarnation numbers, local incarnation numbers, and proposed incarnation numbers. Internode traffic is kept to a minimum while still maintaining consistency. The system and method of the present invention are particularly useful at start-up and data change processing points in time.
