ABSTRACT:
A technique for replicating information among host computing devices based on versions associated with variables of a state on each host computing device is provided. To replicate information among host computing devices, a host computing device determines a maximum variable version of a state among variables. After comparing maximum versions of a state with that of a corresponding state of a connected host, variable values of the state are updated on the host computing device from variable values of the corresponding state on the connected host if it is determined that the maximum variable version on the connected host computing device is greater. The updated variable values correspond to versions on the connected host computing device having a greater version than the maximum variable version on the host computing device.
