ABSTRACT:
A distributed system with mechanisms and protocols for self-grouping of communication in the distributed system. A distributed system according to the present teachings includes a set of nodes and a set of group hubs that enable communication among the nodes. The group hubs and the nodes engage in a group identification protocol for determining a set of groupings of the nodes which are based on a topology of connections among the group hubs and the nodes. The group hubs include mechanisms for special handling of messages associated with the group identity protocol. The mechanisms and protocols for self-grouping are such that communication addressing is automatically determined by the nodes based on the topology of the distributed system.
